Proficiency Testing for Small and Medium Enterprises

Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online

Proficiency Testing for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including technical record keeping, supplier qualification and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, reagent management and quality management systems in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Review proficiency testing and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 9001
  • Put reagent management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
  • Spot where quality management systems is failing before it becomes a finding
  • Take ownership of document control rather than escalating it
