Laboratory Method Transfer and Verification
A method that works in one laboratory frequently fails in another for reasons nobody documented. This course covers transferring analytical methods between sites and verifying that the receiving laboratory produces equivalent results.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01Why methods fail when they move between laboratories
- 02Transfer approaches and choosing between them
- 03Protocol design and acceptance criteria
- 04The method details that never make it into the document

Laboratory Quality Management Systems and ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
This programme prepares laboratory managers and quality staff to build, document and maintain a management system that meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Participants examine competence, impartiality and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories, and learn how to prepare for a successful accreditation assessment. Practical sessions cover document control, corrective action and the transition from internal quality goals to formal recognition.
Laboratory Safety and Biosafety Management
This course equips laboratory personnel to identify, assess and control the physical, chemical and biological hazards found in a working laboratory. Delegates study biosafety levels, containment practices and the safe handling of infectious agents alongside general occupational safety duties. The training links regulatory expectations to day to day behaviour on the bench.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) for Regulated Studies
This programme explains the principles of Good Laboratory Practice as applied to non clinical health and environmental safety studies. Participants learn how GLP governs study conduct, data integrity, facilities and personnel responsibilities. The course helps laboratories align their practices with the expectations of regulatory bodies and monitoring authorities.
