ISO/IEC 17025 – Laboratory Management Systems Certification (Masterclass)

This is a professional online certification course designed to deepen learners’ understanding of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard — the internationally recognized framework for laboratory quality and competence in testing and calibration environments.

🎯 Purpose & Overview

The course provides a comprehensive exploration of ISO/IEC 17025 requirements, delivering both theoretical knowledge and practical application strategies. It’s tailored for laboratory professionals and quality management personnel who aim to develop, implement, maintain, or improve a laboratory management system aligned with global best practices.

ISO/IEC 17025 itself is the international standard that defines what laboratories must do to demonstrate competence, impartiality, and consistent operation in their testing and calibration activities.
