Applied Analytical Laboratory Skills

Fields such as pharmaceutical development, food and beverage manufacturing, environmental and forensic
testing, environmental engineering, chemical manufacturing, and biological sciences require chemical
identification and quality analysis.

In this micro-credential program, learners gain the skills to pursue hands-on jobs in science and engineering
related fields. The program targets key analytical lab skills that are necessary for work in laboratories in all
industries that need chemical identification and quality analysis and monitoring.
The micro-credential program is suitable for recent high school graduates, as well as individuals seeking entry
into science technician employment. Students learn how to accurately use and maintain lab glassware and
instruments, complete sample preparation according to Standard operating Procedures, and utilize digital lab
tools and information management systems to accurately record samples, analyses, and instrument
maintenance.

The Applied Analytical Laboratory Skills micro-credential program ladders into the High-Performance Liquid
Chromatograph micro-credential program as a means of fulfilling the admissions requirements for that
micro-credential. Each program consists of three stackable micro-credential courses.
