Training plays an important role for everyone that uses our cleanroom. In order to become eligible to use a piece of equipment, the user must go through the necessary training procedures.

First a user must attend a training session, where the equipment's trainer demonstrates proper usage of the tool. Although it depends on the machine, there is typically a training session scheduled once a month. Training sessions usually last around an hour and are limited to 8 users per session.

At a later date, each user must perform a 'check-off' where they meet one-on-one with the trainer. Here the trainer will go through a list of eligibilty requirements to make sure the user is able to operate the machine on their own. Once the trainer has determined that an individual is ready to use the equipment, they are granted access. If the user is not ready, they will be asked to perform the check-off at a later time.

At any time, a user may view text instructions and video instructions available on this website.

To view which training sessions you are signed up for, go to the registration page. You can also drop a session and let another user attend in case you are unable to attend.
