Analyst Competency Beyond the Demonstration of Capability

Webcast

Course Description:

Laboratories must implement procedures for establishing that personnel are adequately experienced in the duties they are expected to carry out, and that staff are receiving any needed training. While most laboratories are focused on demonstrating capability, they often fall short of demonstrating competence. This course will focus on how laboratories can create a training program that will meet all training requirements in V1M2 of the TNI Standard and help ensure that laboratory staff are competent to perform their assigned duties. 

Expected benefit of training?
To ensure analysts are competent to perform a given method, not just check the box that a DOC has been performed. The lab will benefit by preventing problems in the future if the lab has confidence the analyst is competent. Better record keeping and support data to defend the DOC.

Learning Objectives:

  • How to formulate training goals.
  • How to identify training needs. 
  • How to provide training to personnel. 
  • How to evaluate effectiveness of training. 
  • How to document training. 
  • How to maintain records of competence, educational and professional qualifications, training, skills, technical and experience. 
  • Basic Data Integrity training requirements. 
  • Defining “appropriate supervision”? (V1M2 §5.2.1) 
  • Overview of Initial Documentation of Capability (IDOC) and Ongoing Demonstration of Capability (ODOC) procedures and documentation.

Intended Audience:

This course is designed for Internal Auditors, Quality Managers, Analysts, and Laboratory Managers.
