Feedback from previous attendees
"Excellent. (I enjoyed the) mixture between theory and on hands practicals." (delegate from the food and drink industry, attended 3-day Hands-on GC-MS Theory, Methods, Maintenance & Troubleshooting, November 2017).
“[I enjoyed the] problem solving exercises both practical and on handouts, with the in-depth explanation of GC components and troubleshooting. [It had] more practical exercises I will actually use at work.” Chemist in the Environmental Industry who attended the 3-day Hands-on GC Theory, Methods, Maintenance & Troubleshooting course.
