Why this course

You are juggling daily test schedules, instrument calibrations, and client deliverables while a looming ISO 17025 audit threatens to stall operations. Your current SOPs are scattered across shared drives, the quality team is stretched thin, and the external auditor keeps asking for evidence that you simply cannot locate in time.

Every missed document or delayed corrective action adds risk of non-conformance, which could force you to halt testing, lose contracts, and damage your lab’s reputation. The pressure mounts as senior management expects a clean audit report, but the tools and processes you rely on are fragmented and outdated.

Who it is for

A laboratory manager who runs a mid-size testing facility, oversees daily operations, coordinates quality assurance, and must align technical staff with regulatory expectations while keeping production on schedule.

What you walk away with

Create a single, auditable repository for all ISO 17025 documentation.
Design and run internal audits that surface gaps before the external review.
Map instrument calibration records to specific control requirements without manual cross-checking.
Develop corrective action plans that meet auditor expectations in under three days.
Maintain continuous compliance so future audits become routine rather than crisis events.
