"We introduced the all comers open course, 'The fundamentals of design and testing for electromagnetic compatibility', in 1988 and this in updated form still runs twice per year", said Chris Marshman, Managing Director of York EMC Services.
"Our ethos has always been to give course delegates an understanding of EMC and not just a recipe book".
"EMC is not a black art; it is based on physics", said Marvin.
