| Quantachrome Instruments offers unique instrument training courses for operators. These 2-3 day courses are designed to provide an effective balance of hands-on practical knowledge and theoretical background. The courses are held at Quantachrome's headquarters (Boynton Beach, Florida) in a custom classroom/lab environment. Detailed course notes (printed and electronic) are included, as is lunch each day. Internet access is available to attendees during the course schedule. Spaces are limited (number varies by instrument) so please confirm yours before making travel arrangements. The course fees do not include accommodation or travel. Attendees are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Please see additional important information below the schedule.
