ECSS Self-Training material – Level 1:

ECSS Level 1 Training presents the ECSS environment, the whole set of ECSS documents and how to apply them in space projects.

ECSS Level 2 Training cover all the technical aspects of the ECSS Disciplines at system level. However the administrative, legal and implementing issues are covered in the present Level 1 presentation and are therefore not repeated in the Level 2 presentations.
It is therefore recommended before entering in any Level 2 presentations, the concepts presented in this Level 1 are understood.

This Level 1 Training is split into three parts covered by the following three PowerPoint presentations.
They are designed for self-training and include voice over explaining the viewgraphs.
