APA Educational Trust
Analysis and Examination of Foods 2010
5 day residential course at the University of Reading
The next annual course at the University of Reading will take place in the week of 12 – 16 April 2010.
This informative and very enjoyable (though demanding) week of lectures and interactive workshops is highly recommended by the APA Training Committee. It is excellent training for work in food, feed and fertiliser enforcement analysis and essential preparation for those intending to sit the statutory qualification examinations for Mastership in Chemical Analysis administered by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
The programme is on a two year rolling cycle, so those delegates who attended in 2009 will find this course particularly useful.
Owing to the generous sponsorship of the FSA the course will be free to the first delegate from each UK Official Food Control (Public Analyst) laboratory site. If there are any spare places, these will be offered at £750 for subsequent delegates from OFC (PA) labs or £895 per person for non-OFC (PA) labs. As in previous years it is expected that this course will be very popular. Places will be strictly limited to 20.
The detailed timetable and a registration form are available.
Further information is available by e-mailing APA Training Officer michael.walker@lgc.co.uk. Reservations should also be sent to the Training Officer.
