In the Fundamentals of Color and Appearance (FOCA) online course, you will gain a solid foundation in color and appearance science. From the physics of color to lighting, spectrophotometers, and color data, you will learn how to measure, view, and communicate color.
Experience 5 hours of videos and interactive content, any time of the day and at your own pace. You will receive a digital course book to follow along and use for future reference, as well as access to interactive learning activities. Have questions while taking the course? Our discussion boards let you post questions and interact with our Color Experts as well as fellow students.
This class is designed for quality control and assurance professionals, lab technicians, parts suppliers, manufacturing specifiers, designers and anyone who evaluates or approves color in any industry.
