Proficiency Testing Masterclass

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 internal auditing, laboratory design and the judgement calls that sit outside SANAS accreditation requirements. 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 technical record keeping, non-conformance management and document control in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring technical record keeping into line with current good practice, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Put non-conformance management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Spot where document control is failing before it becomes a finding
Improve sample handling and chain of custody within their own organisation
