Training is one of the highest-leverage investments a laboratory can make. But the format you choose has as much impact on retention as the curriculum itself.
In-house training (at our Nairobi facility)
Best for individuals or small groups (1–6 people) who benefit from being away from daily operations. Strong peer learning across organizations.
Live virtual training
Best for distributed teams or laboratories that cannot release staff for travel. Works well when sessions are split across multiple shorter days rather than long marathon webinars.
On-site training (at your laboratory)
Best for whole-team transformation. Trainers see your equipment, your workflow, and your people in context. Highest cost, highest impact.
Self-paced online certification
Best for foundational knowledge and ongoing competency maintenance. Pair with mentorship for full effect — videos alone rarely change behavior.
A simple decision rule
- Knowledge transfer alone? Self-paced is fine.
- Skill development? Live instruction.
- Culture change? On-site, every time.
