8) A certificate of training will be provided by Minette Consulting upon successful completion of the objectives of the training.
[1] Plateau testing typically is done through changing the input high voltage value. Most providers of high voltage have straightforward techniques for doing this. Before a Gamma Technician II or Gamma Supervisor 2 training is run, a check with the manufacturer for their particular technique will be required.
