1.  Tutorial Registration Discounts of 50% Offered for Unemployed SVC Members and Non-Members

The current economic climate has left many industry professionals without jobs, and the SVC Education Committee has stepped forward to implement a policy that will support the future of our members and the vacuum coating community.  (SVC will need a copy of your letter of discharge.)

2.  Discounts Offered to Multiple Registrants from one company.

SVC is offering a 25% discount on each Tutorial registration for the second or more employee in a company who enrolls in any Tutorial  (Note: this discount does not apply to the Student rate). 

Note: For any of the discounts listed above, you will need to pay the full Tutorial Registration fees on the On-line Registration system.   Then you will send an E-mail to svcinfo@svc.org and request the discounted fee.  Discounts will be refunded after the TechCon.  

SVC reserves the right to cancel any Tutorial.  If a Tutorial is cancelled, registrants will be notified and a full refund of tuition will be made.

How to Register for Tutorials

On-line Registration opens in mid-December 2009.  The list of Tutorial courses being offered, their schedule and cost are listed below the following Table of courses.

The fees for the Tutorials are the same for SVC Members and Non-Members; however, full-time student fees are substantially lower (SVC will need a copy of your student ID card).

Tutorial Classification System The tutorial codes are intended to provide the prospective attendee with some guidance as to whether the emphasis in the tutorial is primarily on vacuum technology (V code), or vacuum deposition coating processes and technology (C code), or other miscellaneous top- ics (M code). The tutorial number is intended to indicate the level of tutorial specialization—the lower numbers refer to tutorials that are basic or introductory in nature, and the higher numbers refer to tutorials that offer a more specialized treatment of a specific topic. Tutorials are full day (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) unless otherwise noted.
