Description

 

Welcome to the Baseline Fundamentals course! This training provides a foundational introduction to the Baseline irrigation control system and the products that work together to deliver smart, efficient water management.

Throughout this course, you'll learn about the core components of the Baseline system and how they integrate with BaseManager, Baseline's browser-based software platform, to monitor, manage, and optimize irrigation performance. By using real-time data and advanced irrigation technology, Baseline solutions help water managers conserve resources while maintaining healthy landscapes.

Each module includes a knowledge check to reinforce key concepts and prepare you for the Fundamentals Certification. Successfully completing the course demonstrates that you have a foundational understanding of Baseline products, their functions, and how they work together as part of an intelligent irrigation control system.

When you're ready to expand your knowledge, be sure to enroll in our upcoming Contractor Level course, where you'll explore AppManager, BaseManager, and the complete Baseline product lineup in greater depth.

Objectives

Course Objectives
