By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• To impart participants fundamental techniques of analytical chemistry.
• To identify the application of analytical methods.
• To understand the instruments’ techniques.
• To know how to judge the accuracy and precision of experimental data and how these judgments can be sharpened by the application of statistical methods.
• To understand the tools and techniques used to achieve process analysis, qualitative methods, cause and effect diagrams and calibration graphs.
• To be familiar with the latest analytical methods.

The course is designed for chemists, lab technicians, chemical engineers, instrument engineers and lab supervisors/managers.
