What do I need to know about training at the CMI? *

 

  • An instrument training fee is charged per user per instrument.
  • Training may be individual or in small groups (2-4 people), as scheduling allows.
  • All training sessions include:
    • Overview of the instrument and maintenance procedures
    • Tutorial on control and analysis software
    • Review of experimental design
  • Training sessions do NOT include user data collection.
    • Users don’t need to bring anything.
    • Some training sessions will include data collection of a standard or control 
  • Training times vary by instrument, from 2-4 hours, typically.
  • CMI typically plans training about 1-2 weeks in advance, depending on instrument and staff schedules.  If you have certain days of the week or times that won’t work, please include those in your training request.
  • We strongly recommend that all users read the CMI User Guide for the instrument before attending training.
