ISO/IEC 17025 Training: surveillance steps

Learning focus

Apply laboratory competence requirements to testing, calibration and result records.

Skills and exercises

• Testing and calibration scope
• Laboratory competence evidence
• Laboratory result review

Practical learning evidence

• Laboratory process mapping
• Personnel and equipment evidence review
• Sample test or calibration report review

Prepare for the training

Bring a laboratory scope and anonymised test or calibration records for the practical exercise.

Use an anonymised case to practise the following: laboratory result review.

Check what the training result shows

For ISO/IEC 17025 Training, distinguish attendance from assessed learning. Verify the programme, participant, issuer, dates and any stated evaluation criteria before treating a record as evidence of competence.

Apply and review the learning

Use course outputs in the relevant work and review practical examples, records and remaining skill gaps. A training document is stronger when supported by observed application and appropriate responsibilities.

Plan further development when needed

Revisit learning needs when roles, processes or applicable requirements change. Follow any specific programme conditions for reassessment; a universal renewal period should not be assumed.
