Welcome to the QMTS Training Series
QMTS provides timely and consistent quality management training for new laboratory hires and refresher training for veteran staff, taking the burden off of quality managers. The materials primarily consist of online modules containing presentations, documents, best practice guidance and quizzes; the modules are customizable and can be tailored to the specific needs of a laboratory. Pre-recorded, in-depth webinars are also available to supplement the training modules.
Note: Some of the QMTS modules reflect the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard. APHL is working with subject matter experts to update the content to conform to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard and will indicate when the modules have been updated.
This series is particularly appropriate for laboratories seeking initial accreditation or expanding their current scope of accreditation, but the trainings are intended for all who wish to improve their understanding and use of quality management systems.
APHL collaborated with Quality Managers at ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratories that perform food and feed testing.
The Quality Management quick learning modules are designed to be customized and tailored to fit the needs of your laboratory.
Most modules include:
- Instructional documentation to support the PowerPoint content
- A PowerPoint on the target topic
- A quiz about the content
- A quiz answer key
- A .zip file of the original documents to download and use at your facility
In addition, there are supplemental recorded webinars that provide additional detailed information that can be accessed on the HAF Laboratory Resources page.
