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 1980s Nida was one of the first training development companies to offer all of our courseware in computer assisted instruction (CAI) 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 meeting the constantly changing world of advanced electronics training while remembering our roots by providing the very best in fundamental electronics training packages.

All of the programs above work with the Model 130E board referenced below.
Electronics
The Model 130ST Trainer is the most versatile part-task trainer ever developed by Nida Corporation. This trainer supports all existing Nida legacy experiment cards and all new “Fast Track” experiment cards. The “ST” designator in the trainer’s name represents an array of Smart Technologies that include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, system monitoring, self-tests, and user feedback. The “ST” also refers to the intuitive, interactive and versatile relationship between Student and Teacher. The four-way communication between lesson, student, teacher, and trainer is a uniquely Nida interaction.
​
The Model 130ST Trainer is designed for use with many training environments including, traditional computer based training supported by desktop computer systems; flexible delivery supported by a student tablet interface; Nida online eLearning; and stand-alone lab manual instruction. Regardless of instructional method, the Model 130ST Trainer manages voltages, current, and fault conditions used during investigative and troubleshooting experiments. All experimentation is focused towards live, hands-on use of real test equipment.

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.
