Assessor Training: Standard conversion course to ISO/IEC 15189:2007

This 1-day course aims to provide an understanding of ISO/IEC 15189:2007 and training in the assessment of its application for the accreditation of Medical Laboratories.

What are the benefits?

The course will enable delegates to build on their existing expertise in assessing laboratories using the principles of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 to include the particular requirements for quality and competence for medical laboratories, as defined in ISO/IEC 15189:2007

Who Should Attend?

The course is for those with previous laboratory assessment training and experience who expect to become involved in the assessment of medical laboratories using ISO/IEC 15189:2007 as a basis for accreditation. 
The training is designed to meet the needs of the assessment staff of a National Accreditation Body, but the course is also likely to be of benefit to senior laboratory staff experienced in general laboratory competence criteria such as ISO/IEC 17025:2005 who now need to convert that experience to the adoption of ISO/IEC 15189:2007.
