  • Professionals involved in testing and calibration laboratories

  • Managers or consultants seeking to master Laboratory Management System implementation

  • Laboratory technicians responsible for maintaining conformance with testing and calibration laboratory accreditation requirements

  • Individuals responsible for supporting testing and calibration laboratory operations

  • Technical experts preparing for testing and calibration laboratory competence assessment

Learning Objectives
Upon completing this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the correlation between ISO/IEC 17025 and other relevant standards and regulatory frameworks

  • Master the concepts, approaches, methods, and techniques employed in the implementation and effective management of a Laboratory Management System (LMS)

  • Interpret ISO/IEC 17025 requirements within the specific context of the laboratory

  • Support a laboratory in performing testing and other operational activities effectively

  • Acquire the expertise to advise a laboratory on implementing Laboratory Management System best practices

Educational Approach

  • This training combines theoretical instruction with best practices applied in LMS implementation

  • Lecture sessions incorporate illustrative examples derived from case studies

  • Practical exercises involve a case study approach featuring role-playing scenarios and interactive discussions

  • Practice tests are structured to closely reflect the format and content of the certification examination

Prerequisites
Participants should possess comprehensive knowledge of ISO/IEC 17025 and a thorough understanding of implementation principles.
