Measurement Uncertainty for Practitioners course

This in-depth course is designed to deepen delegates’ understanding of the principles and practical applications of Measurement Uncertainty (MU) in a laboratory setting.

Please ensure you read the minimum requirements for this course before booking to attend.

By the end of this course, delegates will have:

• A wider consideration of sources that contribute to uncertainty
• A greater understanding of the evaluation and application of MU
• The knowledge and skills to organise uncertainty budgets and present an uncertainty estimate in reports and certificates

Delegates who attend the course in full will receive a certificate of attendance once their invoice has been settled.

• Traceability, Equations & Metrological terms
• Probability Distributions & Statistical Calculations, Central Limit Theorem
• Sources of Uncertainty Including Human Factors
• Evaluation of Uncertainty Budgets, Reporting Results
• Correlated Quantities, Monte Carlo Simulation
• Decisions and Conformity with Specifications

This course is designed for individuals already managing and/or applying uncertainty within their organisations who require greater awareness of measurement uncertainties and calculation of uncertainty budgets in a practical setting.

This could include:

• Technical managers who manage and evaluate uncertainty
• Technical team members who are part of the evaluation and estimation process
• Practitioners of uncertainty budgets looking to develop their skills and understanding

UKAS also offers an introductory course designed for individuals requiring a fundamental understanding of the principles and concepts of MU. See ‘Introduction to Measurement Uncertainty’.

Delegates will be sent a pre-course exercise before attending and are asked to set aside approximately two hours to complete this.
