Feedback from our Absolute Basics courses
"Diane explained everything in an very easy way so it was easy to understand. [Most useful topic:] The part with the questions at the end. Then you really had to think and you realized if you had understood everything correctly."
Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS, October 2022.
"The What How Why Where When... is a good place for understand what are we looking for on a chapter."
Absolute Basics of ICP-OES & ICP-MS, August 2022.
"The presenter was super knowledgeable. [Most useful topic:] The top tips for preparing a plate."
Absolute Basics of MALDI-TOF, July 2022.
"Range of presentation methods inc. interactivity, questions. [Most useful topic:] Different types of columns and when they'd be used."
Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS, June 2022.
"Engaging course instructor, being able to see and pass around the parts, interesting and good pace."
Absolute Basics of HPLC & LC-MS, June 2022.
"Seeing all the components and learning what they do. It was really helpful to see the parts and get an idea of what is happening to samples."
Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS, March 2022.
"I found the section that went into detail about the different types of GC column interesting. I had heard of them through my uni course but didn't really know their different mechanisms/interactions that each of them had and how that would influence your separation. It was also interesting to hear how the SP was actually added to the column!"
Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS, October 2021.
"I liked that it really was what it said it would be - absolute basics!.. This course started with terminology and equipment then went into uses and two company case studies as examples. Really well paced and good for someone like me who has never done the techniques - I have only ever heard of it. So the thorough introduction and explanations were really helpful to me..."
Absolute Basics of Karl Fischer Titration (KF), June 2021.
"The instructor was very knowledgeable and communicated in an accessible way."
Absolute Basics of Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), July 2020.
"I chose this course to gain more knowledge about ICP-OES as well as ICP-MS... Undoubtedly, useful for people using these techniques is wide knowledge which method when can use for any sample. But also important is to know how we should take care about equipment and the instructor gives good advice, that can be useful for someone who learns how to work with these spectrometers."
Absolute Basics of ICP-OES & ICP-MS, May 2020.
"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."
Absolute Basics of HPLC & LC-MS, May 2020.
"The sheer depth of knowledge and information presented."
Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS, April 2020.
"Enjoyed interactive bit at the end, was very useful in solidifying the information."
