Continuing Education and Training

APHL offers a range of high-quality continuing education programs to strengthen the skills of laboratorians and promote excellence in laboratory practice. It sponsors education programs both independently and through the National Laboratory Training Network (NLTN™), a highly respected 20-year collaboration with the CDC. Participants can receive continuing education credits (PACE®, CDC, etc.) for most APHL or NLTN programs.

Teleconferences and Webconferences

Teleconferences are live lectures presented by subject matter experts via the telephone. Handouts are available for download prior to the presentation. Webconferences are live lectures and handouts presented by subject matter experts via the Internet. These visually-oriented programs require access to both a computer with an internet connection and a telephone.

These cost-effective methods of training allow for staff education without leaving the workplace.

Hands-On Laboratory Workshops

Hands-On Laboratory Workshops, also known as “Wet Workshops,” engage participants with discussion and lecture as well as state-of-the-art laboratory exercises. Participants interact with each other and with subject matter experts to gain a complete understanding of the material presented.

Seminars

Seminars are in-person lectures that allow participants the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about a particular topic directly from subject matter experts. Opportunities include networking, discussion and question and answer segments.
