The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for un­derstanding laboratory technical, requirements of quality laboratory and procedure of safety meth­ods. With enable the participants to provide an understanding of the roles of the quality and technical performance in the laboratory. Provide an understanding of the roles of quality standards, how to develop the technical, and methods in the analytical lab and how to evaluate the lab results.

The course is planned for, lab technicians, lab su­pervisors and chemists. The course is also designed for people who implement, maintain and review labora­tory quality systems.

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;
