We strongly believe that each new user should go through our training process.

Although our software is easy to use, it has many optional, advanced features designed to maximize efficiency. We have found that a solid understanding of the biology is necessary to acquire true mastery of the program and fully benefit from the nuances it brings to ration formulation. For this reason, AMTS conducts numerous training sessions both on program usability and model biology, throughout the US (and internationally) year round.
