GVF Training

SatProf's GVF Training courses and certifications are the established global standard for satellite communications skills, covering operation, installation and maintenance of VSAT, marine, and mobile/SNG satellite terminals, in addition to general and specialized satcom theory.

Students learn, practice, and are evaluated on their knowledge and skills with online, self-paced, interactive, simulator-driven training modules developed by SatProf, Inc.

All courses are online and self-paced. Every student has their own account and can proceed through their courses on their own schedule. The learning system returns you to where you left off, and your complete transcript is always available - even if your career changes.

The GVF Training online curriculum is now available through the Training Membership.

With over 50 years of combined experience in the satcom and education field, our expert instructors have built interactive, simulator-based tutorials that guide you through every facet of satellite communications operations, from the most basic need-to-know information to the most up-to-date advances in satcom technology.

GVF Training is the leading standard in comprehensive, online satcom technical training. GVF Training certifications represent the highest quality of education in the satcom industry and allow you to be listed as a qualified professional in our public database.

We are constantly adding to our list of online, self-paced courses available 24 hours/day and include hundreds of hours of interactive, animated instruction.

Hands-on skills testing, supplementary instructor-led training, and mentored classes are supported by GVF Training Examiners around the world.

SatProf launched the first online, simulator-driven VSAT pointing and installation courses in 2005 in collaboration with the Global VSAT Forum industry association. Since then over 25,000 students have experienced our technical training courses and the technical curriculum has expanded to cover mobile and maritime terminals, advanced testing and troubleshooting, and measurement theory, networking, and many other topics. In 2023 GVF and the Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA) have merged, but we have continued the well-established and globally-recognized GVF Training brand for technical training and certifications.
