About
Scientists have a need to know the composition, identity and quantity of the samples with which they are deal. Consequently, the Chromatography which is the separation of an analyze from a complicated mixture of similar constituents for qualitative or quantitative identification is a very important development technique of chemical and physical analysis. This course discuss one of most important methods of instrumental analysis in the different applications. There is no chemical industrial field has no need to gas chromatographic analysis.
The quality of analysis depend more on the quality of the operator than that of the instrument, so this course will help laboratory staff to understand meaning and principals of gas chromatographic and their applications.
- The course is of interest for any person working in any analytical laboratory.
- Laboratory staff, Analyst, Chemists, Supervisors.

Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees' work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants' attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
- Providing a lunch buffet during the training program period, with organizing a lunch party on the training program final day for taking some photos and certificate awarding.
