This course covers the theory and practice of the calibration of weights and balances. It incorporates hands-on practical exercises to demonstrate adjustment features and the effects of static, magnetism, vibration and draughts on balance performance. Please find the link to the brochure here.

NOTE: Participants with limited experience in estimating measurement uncertainty would benefit from first attending the Introduction to Estimating Measurement Uncertainty course.

Face to face training is a one-day course (9am to 5pm). 

Online training sessions as follows:

Day 1 - Session 1: 09:00 - 11:30 / session 2: 13:00 - 15:30

Day 2 - Session 3: 09:00 - 12:00

Knowledge and skills
