ELAP-Webinar-15 - QMS Implementation for a small laboratory
Synopsis:
Small laboratories often feel overwhelmed by the requirements set forth in the 2016 TNI Standard and other regulations. A full-time Quality Manager is not always required (or possible). The objective of this training is to provide small laboratories with an understanding of what is required and to assist with ideas and tools to comply. Remember, standards and regulations state what to do, not how to do it.

Good news!
This webinar course includes a Certificate of Achievement and compliant CEU units—a great reward for completing the program.
And as the saying goes: great rewards come with greater responsibilities. Because CEUs follow strict compliance rules, you’ll need to complete each lesson exactly as required (the required steps are shown inside each lesson).
If you don’t complete the required step, you won’t be able to move on to the next lesson.
