CLSI offers customized training programs to help laboratories ensure compliance and meet regulatory requirements, prepare for accreditation, perform gap analysis on quality management systems, create self-assessment and auditing tools, and provide scalable professional development and technical assistance for your staff teams.
Every program we undertake is customized to the needs of the labs we support through collaboration development.
See below for some of our recent training programs and contact us to discuss your needs!
A comprehensive introduction to quality management systems (QMS) based on the quality system essentials (QSEs) and related international standards. This introduction lays the foundation for the implementation of QSEs in the laboratory and describes why implementation of QMS/QSE/standards is a critical step for accreditation preparedness.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administration, Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists

This workshop introduces participants about using quality control (QC) in clinical laboratory operations. This curriculum includes qualitative and quantitative QC measures, and how to recognize and troubleshoot QC issues.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administration, Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists
This workshop shows your laboratory staff how to identify, document, investigate, analyze, correct, and follow up on events that do not conform to the laboratory’s established policies, processes, and procedures.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administration, Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists
This workshop introduces the concept of “quality indicators” (QIs) in the laboratory, and explains how to establish and use QIs to improve quality in all laboratory operations.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administration, Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists
This high-level workshop provides your laboratory staff with interactive instruction that focuses on the quality management system elements for a safe and efficient medical laboratory working environment. Participants will learn about the function of the 12 quality system essentials and their role in the lab.
Audience: Laboratory Administrators, Administrative Directors, Quality Managers
This workshop describes verification and validation methods for reagents, test kits, and equipment following CLSI EP05 | Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures and CLSI EP12 | User Protocol for Evaluation of Qualitative Test Performance.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administrators, Laboratory Managers, and Laboratory Technologists
Proposed US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) are explained. Participants will review the elements for FDA’s Quality System Requirements for LDTs and learn best practices for meeting FDA’s Quality System Requirements for LDTs.
This workshop is based on CLSI's product QSR LDT, Quality System Regulation for Laboratory-Developed Tests: A Practical Guide for the Laboratory.
Audience: Quality Officers, Laboratory Administration, Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists
The general concepts of risk assessment and performing a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) are covered. This workshop provides a basic understanding of risk analysis and is intended for those who have not performed a formal risk analysis before.
Audience: Laboratory Administration, Quality Officers/Laboratory Managers, Laboratory Technologists
This course provides basic and general quality control (QC) and method evaluation knowledge (QC system, method validation, and verification) for clinical laboratory testing methods.
Audience: Laboratory professionals, quality managers, laboratory department supervisors
This workshop provides your staff with basic quality control (QC) and method evaluation knowledge (QC system, method validation and verification) for rapid testing (RT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods.
Audience: Laboratory professionals working in RT and ELISA, quality managers, laboratory department supervisors
This course provides basic and general quality control (QC) and method evaluation knowledge for different microbiology methods.
Audience: Laboratory professionals, quality managers, laboratory department supervisors
This course provides laboratory professionals with basic quality control (QC) and method evaluation knowledge (QC system, method validation and verification) for different molecular diagnostic testing methods.
Audience: Laboratory professionals working in molecular diagnostics, clinical molecular biologists, quality managers, molecular laboratory department supervisors
The online, self-paced Laboratory Quality Management System Certificate Program describes the skills needed for successful implementation and sustainment of a quality management system (QMS) in your laboratory. This program focuses on providing a systematic, process-oriented approach to meeting quality objectives, and delivering consistent, high-quality, cost-effective laboratory services through the implementation of a QMS.
Audience: Bench Staff
This program will help your laboratory determine how much it spends on supporting good quality, resolving problems and errors, and preventing poor quality from occurring. It will help your organization improve profitability and enhance your ability to provide better patient care. This is the only program that truly implements the steps needed to determine the existing cost of quality in your laboratory.
Audience: Bench Staff, Laboratory Managers, Quality Managers
Help your staff streamline the process of establishing an individualized quality control plan (IQCP) in the laboratory by enrolling them in this workshop. As the current equivalent quality control in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) guidance will soon not be an acceptable option for compliance, the CLSI EP23 Online Workshop is an invaluable tool to guide users through the process of establishing an IQCP.
This workshop allows for anyone, anywhere, anytime to learn about IQCP, CLSI document EP23, and its purpose of helping to simplify QC based on risk management.
