“Analysts from West Liberty have attended various Alloway seminars. We found the seminars to be invaluable. The time was well spent, the material was presented in a very organized and straightforward manner, and the instructors moved at a pace that was comfortable for the group. The seminars were also practical, as we were able to apply the learning in our own lab. Great seminars!”

 
Training Overview
Since 1988, Alloway has been a leader in training key laboratory staff who must provide defensible data.

Your analysts, chemists and biologists will gain a clear understanding of proper laboratory procedures, program management, quality control, and constantly changing regulatory and technology issues.

Regular training sessions are scheduled throughout the year or we can customize training to meet your specific needs. We are able to offer training at your location or one of our facilities.

Your Alloway training options include:


General Laboratory Training Courses in CD format: Basic to advanced laboratory procedures and instrumentation courses are self-paced so you can participate at your convenience and review the material when you need it.

  • You can learn at your facility. It is not necessary to travel and incur expenses associated with seminars. This is especially important with today's budget constraints.
  • The course cost is low, especially when compared to seminars and other forms of training.
  • The course incorporates multiple training techniques, including video, photographs, text, EPA reference materials, and telephone support.
  • The knowledge can help you perform sampling that may have been subcontracted, saving money.
  • The information can help you achieve compliance, whether you perform the sampling, or you subcontract the sampling. This information can help evaluate the sampling process. Remember that subcontracting does not relieve you of responsibility.

Web-Ex Environmental Laboratory Training Sessions: Dynamic, interactive, one-hour sessions bring the newest information to your work environment. This allows your staff to remain onsite while keeping up to date on various aspects of environmental laboratory methods and operations. Internet and phone connection required. Sessions can be customized for your group.

  • Web-ex Training courses cover topics such as certification issues and requirements, document control, sample handling, method detection levels, method compliance issues, accuracy, precision, corrective action, reagent traceability, method procedures, and more.
  • All you need is an Internet connection and a telephone. Register for a class, and Alloway will provide you a phone number to call and a password to use just prior to the class. At the scheduled time, go to the directed web page and dial the phone number — just follow the instructions provided. You will then be connected to the class. The instructor will take you through the session. If you have a speakerphone, a number of people in your organization can participate for one low cost. You can ask questions and interact with the rest of the group. It’s easy, effective, and inexpensive.
  • You can participate from wherever you are. No travel expenses or lost time from work! It’s effective. You get the same instructor you would in a classroom! Most importantly, the contents of the course will become an important part of your continuous improvement plan, allowing you and your laboratory to grow.

Customized On-Site Training Programs: Designed for specific needs to include your entire staff. Sessions can be held via Web-Ex or at your facility. Maximize the use of your time with very specific testing tailored to your specific needs.

  • Alloway can customize courses for you at your facility on any number of scientific disciplines including subjects such as:
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • Microbiology
  • Instrumentation
  • IC/LC
  • GC
  • GC/MS
  • AA
  • ICP
  • Basic GC
  • Basic LC
  • Basic MS
  • Basic Quality Control/Quality Assurance Documentation

Seminars and Workshops: Our seminars have a broad appeal and many courses are applicable to laboratories of all disciplines. We feature a comprehensive two-day overview of quality control and quality assurance for private, industrial and municipal laboratories. Other in-depth seminars feature sample handling, document control, reagent traceability, standard operating procedures, and general chemistry and microbiology laboratory techniques.

We feature an entire series of seminars on environmental sampling and analysis, including field measurements, Oxygen Demand, Nitrogen Series, Instrumental Determinations, General Chemistry and Microbiology, and laboratory techniques.

Our workshops are informational in nature and typically feature guest speakers who specialize in the topics presented and/or represent government agencies or industry organizations.
