Besser Associates is bringing comprehensive full-length classroom courses to you through live online sessions organized around your busy work schedule. We've broken the content into multiple week-long parts followed by break periods with on-demand access - allowing you to interact in the live sessions without significantly disrupting your daily work schedule.

Each part takes place over the course of one week, followed by an approximately four-week break, during which you will have on-demand access to all of the lectures so far. Study the lectures and ask your questions directly during any subsequent live session or email the instructor.

Here's another major benefit for 2027 - extended on-demand access!

In addition to on-demand access between each part, enjoy extended on-demand access to the lectures for 30 days after the last live session.

Our first course in this series, DSP - Understanding Digital Signal Processing, will be divided into three parts to cover all of the material in the syllabus. See the outline below and sign up now!

DSP - Understanding Digital Signal Processing

Course 027

This three-day course is the beginner's best opportunity to efficiently learn DSP. Intuitive, nonmathematical explanations and well-chosen examples develop the student's fundamental understanding of DSP theory. The practical aspects of signal processing techniques are stressed over discrete system theory. Participants will leave with a collection of tricks-of-the-trade used by DSP professionals to make their processing algorithms more efficient. Read more...

This course is broken into 9 live online daily sessions with each session lasting approximately 2.5 hours each day. The course is spread out in three parts over a three-month period. Each part contains 3 daily sessions. Each session is recorded to support students who want to review the live events or for those that cannot attend the live events. With your enrollment in each course, you will be able to view recordings of the live sessions throughout the program access period and up to 30 days after the final session.

Note: on-demand recordings of each may session take up to 24 hours after the end of the session to become available for viewing.

The current schedule for 2027 is as follows:
The live session occurs from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM Pacific Time for each of the dates listed.
