STK Level 2 - Advanced Tutorials

The STK Level 2 - Advanced tutorials build off of the STK Level 1 - Beginner tutorials. You will take simulations from the STK fundamentals a step further with advanced analysis capabilities and tools to quantify and measure mission effectiveness.

The Level 2 - Advanced tutorials are designed to take you through the STK software's advanced capabilities.

Once you are Level 1 - STK Certified and have completed Comprehensive training (the Level 1 - Beginner and Level 2 - Advanced tutorials), you will be ready to take the Level 2 - STK Master Certification test. Visit www.agi.com/training-and-certification#cert/ (free for U.S. and Canada). Upon registration for the STK Master Certification, you will receive an email confirmation with an attachment for a 14-day demo license. This license provides you access to all the capabilities needed to complete the certification.

Optional third-party programs

Several of the tutorials use MATLAB, Python, and/or Excel. While not required to complete the tutorials, these programs are very useful to have when using the STK application. If you do not have these programs, you can open example files in a text editor to view the syntax.
