There is no other vendor which has both the iScreen training program along with the web based 24/7 delivery capability, than SKS.


Our simulated X ray machine III training application gives it's user's new, appreciable & previously unheard of advantages over any similar or available training programs. SKS gives it's customers total control of the "iScreen" program, along with more freedom & flexibility over training budgets, personnel/classroom scheduling or coordination conflicts, and it greatly reduces the inherent overtime costs, travel costs, as well as all the headaches & hassles associated with other training scenarios & programs.
