One of the special features of BIDP training is the hands-on
lab component.
Trainees get a chance to experience how to operate in an
effective manner in a lab environment. The planning of events, correct
synchronising of sample preparation time with equipment warm up time,
developing testing methods under time pressure, troubleshooting equipment
performance while doing a critical run and many many more. There will always be
a tutor at hand to help but the trainees have to "lead" the
development of their experiments, no one to give instructions (or
spoon-feeding). The training is designed to provide enough
"challenge" to ensure independence when working in their own labs
later.
Are they "experts" by the end of the training? No, we cannot
create "experts" in weeks and months.
Lab skill is a marriage of art
and science, perfected through practice and experience all your life. What BIDP
provides is an acceleration to some key lab skills. The tips and tricks that
you learn here will serve you well whichever lab you embark your career on.
It
is the distillation of many decades of combined experience of our trainers
passed on to you in the shortest possible time.
