Conformity Assessment Management Systems - Training Webinar

Laboratory Management or Quality Systems have evolved greatly over the years. All organisations making measurements have a system of sorts, some more advanced than others, and some more compliant with the requirements of modern Standards than others. This short course, split into three modules, describes the modern approach and how it can benefit your business.

It identifies the features and terminology used and how systems should be integrated into an organisation’s operational and management practices to add value, convenience and compliance. The management system is not an unavoidable overhead, it is a cost-effective tool that should also reduce risk and stress.

Each module is served as a 90-minute webcast, viewable at your convenience, followed by a scheduled live Q&A event with your tutor. This will help you to contextualise the learning to your specific requirements.

Course completion certificates are provided after each module.

For just £225 + VAT you will receive:
three 90 minute on-demand training modules which you can access at any time;

three workbooks designed to support your learning; and

three scheduled Q&A events with your tutor to help you contextualise your learning and take it back into your business.
Anyone contemplating modernising their system or introducing one from scratch would benefit from attending this course. This is regardless of the Standard they intend to follow and whether or not they wish to achieve external accreditation or any formal customer approval.
