NPL offers a number of training modules that can be mixed-and-matched to create a complete training package meeting individual training objectives. Following an initial discussion with the client prior to the training taking place, the modules are usually adapted to suit a range of technical abilities and prior knowledge, enabling a truely bespoke training package to be created.

The available modules include:

• Primary pressure calibration of laboratory standard microphones
• Secondary pressure calibration of working standard microphones
• Secondary free-field calibration of working standard microphones
• Electrostatic actuators
• Calibration and verification of sound calibrators and pistonphones
• Verification of sound level meters and related IEC Standards
• Calibration of audiometers
• Calibration of artificial ears
• Calibration of mechanical couplers (artificial mastoids)
• Application of laboratory quality schemes and requirements of ISO/IEC 17025
• Measurement uncertainty

NPL will also consider providing tailored training on other topics to meet specific alternative requirements, where we have the necessary expertise.

Each module is designed to last a half-day. Since they usually include some practical aspects in the laboratory, they are suitable for up to three people at a time.
