Science courses

Designed with a blend of practical exercises and scientific theory, this course is delivered by highly trained instructors to deliver talented, confident lab technicians.

The course is designed for those looking to progress into managerial roles, who have a passion for supporting others to develop to the best of their ability.

An introduction to the biomolecules; the basic structures and types for anyone wishing to refresh their knowledge, or learn more about the basics of these molecules.

Take a look at the setting up and maintenance of a standard light microscope, different lenses, how to measure cells and slide preparation methods. Suitable for all levels.

This easy to follow course covers the preparation of solutions, discusses appropriate glassware use, demonstrates examples of redox and acid-base titrations, and examples for the preparation of culture media.

Basic introduction to the different types of biomolecules, the types that may be worked with in the laboratory, and different tests and uses of such molecules in bio science.

A short course covering the main classifications of bacteria, what bacteria are in relation to other microorganisms, and the broad classification and identification methods.

A short course introducing barriers, effector cells, antimicrobial peptides, soluble mediators, and cells and receptors involved in the innate immune system.

A short course on data analysis using Python. At the end of the course participants will be able to read data from common data sources (Excel) into Python, clean said data and make simple data visualisation.

A short learner led course to recap the numeracy required for laboratory science. Depending upon the numerical ability of the cohort, topics will include BIDMAS, rearranging equations, indices, scientific notation.
