Advanced Proficiency Testing
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into reagent management, supplier qualification and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 17025. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data integrity, technical record keeping and proficiency testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review data integrity and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 17025
- Bring technical record keeping into line with current good practice
- Improve proficiency testing within their own organisation
- Take ownership of corrective and preventive action rather than escalating it
