Agile Product Delivery: An Introduction using SCRUM for Space
Short course (Varies) by Fistral Training and Consultancy Ltd. · POA · Current
This course delivers a baseline understanding of Agile, and in particular SCRUM, principles and commonality of terminology. It provides an overview of the SCRUM framework and Agile development core techniques and skills; Day 2 is highly interactive. An Agile approach centres on delivering outputs iteratively and rapidly. With increased customer interaction this approach provides greater flexibility and the ability to adapt and respond quickly to changes in the environment, or requirements in projects or product development, where the final output cannot be clearly defined at the beginning.
Project Management Principles for Space Level 2
Short course (Varies) by Fistral Training and Consultancy Ltd. · POA · Current
Working in a project environment requires a blend of both technical project management ability and interpersonal skills. So, in addition to taking the “hard” methods provided in 'PM Principles Level 1' to a greater depth and introducing more advanced techniques, this course will also focus on the “soft” communication and people management skills needed to optimise the performance of a project team.

Satellite Communication Systems Training Course
Short course (Belgium) by European Space Agency (ESA) · Free · Current
Living in a world without global connectivity seems nowadays unlikely, just think about how big secure communication, satellite broadcasting, search and rescue and mobile networks are. Satellite Communication technologies empower us to navigate with precision, explore the cosmos, monitor Earth's changes, provide healthcare remotely, optimize transportation logistics, disseminate knowledge widely, and ultimately propel innovation and societal progress across multifaceted dimensions. It is of utmost importance to foster a more resilient and safer connectivity system for the Europe of tomorrow. Through lectures and short exercises, students will learn about topics such as End-to-End Satellite Communication Systems Principles, Antenna Systems, Telecommunications Market, Optical Systems and Technologies, and Satellite Communication Applications. They will also have the opportunity to have a guided tour of the ESEC in Redu and will thus be able to figure out what they have learned on-site.
