The class sessions include several opportunities to try these features using a Fortran 90/95 compiler in the classroom  immediately after they are discussed.  This provides strong reinforcement of the material covered and creates the opportunity to ask questions of experienced instructors when they arise during these lab sessions. 

This is usually a four-day course, but it can be done in three days and five days provide a more leisurely pace and allow more individual attention.

Currently, the Fortran classes are offered only at customer sites.
