Workshop Overview
Adopting ISO 17025 in a laboratory is crucial for instilling confidence in its operations and the reliability of its results. This certification indicates that the laboratory meets international standards, ensuring its effective functioning. Given that business decisions often rely on these results, it’s essential for any laboratory to strive for accuracy and trustworthiness.
Earning ISO 17025 accreditation is a significant milestone for laboratories, signifying their commitment to quality. This course is specifically designed to help analytical and microbiological laboratories implement ISO 17025 standards practically, ensuring they meet the necessary requirements.
Learning is made fun & practical
Progress Excellence takes a unique approach to training in food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental and laboratory:
- Sector specific examples are used to ensure relevance and understanding of the topic.
- All our training modules are highly interactive with practical activities that entrench theoretical learning.
- We provide templates and helpful implementation plans.
Our aim is to equip delegates in such a way that they can practically implement and improve their systems.
Progress Excellence Approach
- Dissecting the ISO 17025 standard and translating the requirements into understandable terms.
