Focus on Training

Advances in science and technology of process chemistry occur at an ever-increasing pace. Scientific Update can help keep your chemists in touch with the latest advances in the field.

Each course comprises:

• Well-known, international expert tutors
• Topics of interest to chemists & chemical engineers
• Course manuals with all presented course material
• Key references for future guidance
• Discussion sessions to re-enforce main principles
• Certificate of attendance for career development.

While you are working
- chemistry is developing..

In-house courses can provide a cost effective solution for companies who would like to send 8 or more attendees to one of Scientific Updates extensive range of courses.

Courses can be held either on-site or at a nearby location, such as a local hotel, where participants are free from interruption. This offers considerable savings in time, travel and accommodation costs.

Costs for in-house training vary depending upon the duration of the course and the number of tutors required, however each course is designed to meet the company's specific needs with up to a maximum of 30 attendees.

For a list of the in-house training courses that we provide, please visit our website.

Benefits of in-house training include:

• Increased productivity
• Improved workflow Maximised investment
• Save time and money
• Team building
• Ability to consult with tutors about specific issues & subjects relevant to the course in complete confidentiality
• Courses scheduled to suit your needs
