Background
As part of the NLA’s ongoing commitment towards the upliftment of technical skills in the Calibration, Measurement and Test Laboratory environments, it is essential that the NLA, as an Association, provides this vital link between ongoing education and training and the communities it serves. In January 2000, the NLA announced that all technical training courses in the area of calibration, measurement and testing would be coordinated by the NLA’s Centre for Skills Co-ordination – CMeTSA.
As a prospective attendee, we look forward to welcoming you on one of our courses and trust that the value of this education will be of long term benefit to everyone involved in the laboratory and measurement world.
