Overview

Advanced Laboratory Testing and Quality Management Course is a two-week course for laboratory leaders and technical personnel, who leave with a Laboratory Testing and Quality Management Pack. The course connects ISO 15189:2022, quality system essentials, test methods, specimens, equipment, reagents, quality control, results, information, nonconforming work, risk, assessment, and improvement. Agile Leaders Training Center presents laboratory testing and quality management as one controlled operational system.

Who Should Attend

Teams responsible for laboratory governance and service performance
Personnel responsible for test-method selection, verification, and technical oversight
Functions responsible for quality systems, documents, records, and audits
Teams responsible for specimens, equipment, reagents, results, and information
Personnel responsible for competence, risk, nonconforming work, and improvement

The course assumes participants already work with laboratory processes and leaves out beginner bench techniques, accreditation guarantees, and jurisdiction-specific regulatory advice.

Departments and Industries

The course supports departments that manage testing quality across healthcare, public health, research, environmental, and product-testing laboratories.

Medical and diagnostic laboratory services
Public health and reference laboratories
Clinical research and biotechnology laboratories
Environmental, food, and product-testing laboratories
Quality, safety, information, and healthcare operations functions

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Apply ISO 15189:2022 and quality system essentials to laboratory governance
Analyze pre-examination, examination, and post-examination process risks
Build method, equipment, reagent, specimen, and competence controls
Evaluate quality control, external assessment, and result-release evidence
Diagnose nonconforming work and prioritize corrective action
Design indicators, audits, management reviews, and improvement plans

Suggested activity: evaluate method, equipment, reagent, specimen, and quality-control evidence.
Suggested activity: review results, critical notifications, information integrity, and post-examination indicators.
Suggested activity: investigate nonconforming work and build an audit, review, and improvement response.

FAQs

Who suits laboratory testing and quality management training, and what does it assume?

Laboratory managers, supervisors, quality personnel, technical leads, scientists, and operations staff suit the course; it assumes experience with laboratory processes and records.

How does laboratory testing and quality management differ from basic quality control training?

Laboratory testing and quality management integrates governance, competence, resources, methods, the total testing pathway, information, assessment, risk, and improvement rather than concentrating only on analytical control results.

What does ISO 15189:2022 address in laboratory management?

ISO 15189:2022 addresses quality and competence requirements for medical laboratories, connecting management-system controls with technical processes and laboratory services.

How should nonconforming laboratory work be managed?

Nonconforming laboratory work requires identification, containment, impact evaluation, decision authority, investigation, correction, communication, corrective action, effectiveness review, and retained evidence.

Which laboratory quality indicators support management review?

Useful laboratory quality indicators cover specimens, method and equipment performance, quality control, external assessment, result release, critical reporting, turnaround, nonconformities, complaints, competence, audits, and improvement actions.

Conclusion

Participants leave with a Laboratory Testing and Quality Management Pack containing governance, method, specimen, resource, control, result, information, risk, assessment, and improvement tools. The pack links technical evidence to management decisions across the testing pathway. It helps laboratories operate, monitor, review, and improve controlled testing services.
