International Summer School on Quality Assurance in a Testing Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025)

About

Good science requires quality assured data. This school teaches you the basics of the international standard ISO/IEC 17025, as well as the role of metrology and accreditation. By the way, today's commercial testing laboratories virtually all operate under a quality management system based on this standard. So, if you later apply for a job in such a laboratory, this school will give you a competitive advantage. On successful completion of the school, you will be awarded a certificate equivalent to 6 ECTS

Target group

Master or doctoral students in natural sciences or engineering, but also young professionals working in test laboratories

Course aim

Participants are taught core knowledge and skills directly related to quality of testing data as addressed in the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
Apart from this, because of the way the school is designed, participants are intensively trained in transferable as well as entrepreneurial skills, such as those needed for planning, time management, (intercultural) communication, team play and leadership. Many participants have explained that during later recruitment interviews their experience in this summer school made them stand out and was one of the main reasons for obtaining the job
