Our introductory courses provide an overview for complete beginners to the technique. These instrument-independent, classroom courses provide an introduction to the technique to boost your knowledge and confidence.
These courses are taught in a non-sales environment providing independent and unbiased advice. The training is packed full of practical tips and examples, delivered by practising analytical chemists with current skills.
We have successfully trained delegates in a wide range of roles from sales, business development, marketing, finance and administration, as well as analysts, technicians and engineers.

Feedback from previous attendees
"I've enjoyed that the machinery and some parts of the instruments were shown and described (photos and real-life on the tutor desk). I've liked taking part in solving the problems with the instructor at the end of the course and talking about real-life examples, where HPLC can be used and what can be tested with it. The slides were very neat and clearly presented with a good amount of images and graphs added."
