Training Certificate

Prolific Consultants FZE Certificate of Course Completion will be issued to all attendees.

Course Introduction

The efficient use of chemical analysis and instrument technique are very imperative tools to solve any laboratory problem. The course provides laboratory analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques of most used instruments in any laboratory. In addition, it provides elegant tools for obtaining qualitative and quantitative data techniques with practice work on analysis Software. The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for understanding the problem of chemical analysis and implementing analysis troubleshooting.

Course Objective

• To impart the participants technique of solving problem in the laboratory.
• To understand and apply practically the instruments troubleshooting.
• To know the difficult task of judging the accuracy and precision of experimental data and how these judgments can be sharpened by the application of statistical methods.
• To understand the tools and techniques for achieving process analysis, qualitative methods, cause and effect diagrams and calibration graph.

Suitable For

The course is planned for chemist, lab technicians, chemical engineers, instrumental engineers and lab supervisors/managers.

Training Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lecture and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge and experience transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody finding the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their own questions and to share developing the right answers using their own analysis and experience.

All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
