Nida Corporation logo

Since the company began in 1972, Nida Corporation has grown to become a world leader in the development, design, and installation of sophisticated electronics training systems. Born of the aerospace industry, Nida initially was challenged to meet the expanding and demanding requirements of military high-technology training. In the early 1980's Nida was one of the first training development Companies to offer all of our courseware in Computer Assisted Instruction format. In the mid-nineties, Nida began providing performance-based technical training in a distance education format, linking training institutions with students in remote areas around the globe. Today, Nida Corporation is the pacesetter for the field of technical training. Nida training systems stand out as the first choice of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Nida is dedicated to meet the constantly changing world of advanced electronics training while remembering our roots by providing the very best in fundamental electronics training packages.

Learning Labs, Inc. is proud to represent Nida in the following product categories:

Nida Model 130E Training PlatformThe Model 130E electronics training program enhances understanding and learning associated with electrical and electronics curriculums. It is a complete training platform designed to accept all 130 Series Experiment cards. In addition, the platform supports traditional text based programs, computer managed programs, and all computer assisted instruction programs. Features include:

  • Automatic Configuration will configure the training platform to the correct mode of operation; Stand alone, Computer Managed, or Computer Assisted Instruction

  • Experiment Setup automatically configures the training platform to the specific parameters required for each hands-on training scenario.

  • Automatic Backup permits the student to save the current settings when a break in training is scheduled or a power or system failure occurs.

  • System Monitoring continuously scans the training platform for serviceability an notifies the user when the unit is not operating correctly.

The Nida Series 130 platform is designed for a variety of instructional modes. These modes range from the most basic to the most complex. The Model 130E Test Console includes a pre-wired, AC/DC power supply system, an input-output system, and in-circuit faulting system. The Test Console is designed to reduce confusion and errors that may arise when interconnecting test instruments. This Test Console accepts circuitry covering AC, DC, Analog, Digital, Fiber Optics, Signal Processing, Microprocessors, Microwave Transmission, Rotating Machinery, and Synchro Servos. The total training system is a training package consisting of courseware and hardware designed for individual learning with applications in group or self-paced environments.

Manufacturing: Residential Wiring

The demand for quality residential electricians is skyrocketing as communities expand to meet the housing requirements of a growing nation. New construction and the renovation of older homes require electricians with a solid knowledge of electrical principles and the ability to perform troubleshooting and repairs on increasingly more complex residential circuitry. Today’s homes boast alarm systems, remotely controlled circuits, intelligent appliances, pools, spas, and communications systems. The Nida Residential Wiring Program is specifically designed to prepare entry-level technicians to install, troubleshoot and repair electrical circuits found in today’s residential buildings. From understanding blueprints to wiring a Smart House system, the Nida Residential Wiring Program takes the student through the concepts and principles of power distribution, circuit loading, illumination, wiring practices and safety.
