CyArk 3D Training Format & Scheduling Poll Survey

Description:

Help shape our 2026 training programs. We are developing new online courses and improving existing ones focused on 3D documentation, including photogrammetry (drone and ground), data processing, modeling, and new methods like Gaussian Splatting.

Our short courses are fully online, spread over two weeks in a moderately relaxed but information-rich format, with about 12 hours of live instruction with our expert training specialist and self-paced practice between sessions. Each live session is usually 2 hours long. We keep groups small with a maximum of 10 participants so everyone has time to ask questions and get support.

We want to make our courses more accessible and flexible for people around the world, across different time zones, skill levels, and backgrounds. At the same time, we aim to keep the experience centered on the educational depth and quality that make CyArk courses stand out.

This short poll will help us understand what topics, formats, and schedules work best for you. Your feedback will directly guide how we plan and design next year’s courses.
