Training that survives contact with the bench

Practical courses in laboratory method, quality systems and auditing, run by people who use these methods every week rather than teach them from a manual.

Work Integrated Learning

Placements for chemistry and microbiology graduates

BioSel takes on graduates and students who need industry exposure to complete their qualification. Eight students have come through the mentorship programme so far, and several of the jobs created in the business have gone to graduates who started this way.

  • Supervised bench time on live samples, not observation only
  • Exposure to the quality system as well as the method
  • Mentorship from staff who have worked in accredited labs for years

Enquire about a course

Tell us the course, how many people and roughly when you need it.

We reply to every enquiry within one working day.

Thank you. Your request is in. A member of the lab team will be in touch within one working day.

In house training

We can run any of these at your site

If you have five or more people to train, bringing the course to you is usually cheaper than sending the team out, and the examples can be built around your own methods and your own audit findings.

Built on your own methods

Worked examples come from your SOPs and your instruments, so nothing needs translating afterwards.

Priced per group

Once you pass five people, an in house course usually costs less per head than public seats.

Scheduled around production

Split across shifts or run over two half days so the line does not stop.
