This 2-day QAQC- Getting the most out of your QC data course covers the QAQC life cycle: from planning the types and frequencies of QAQC data to be collected; the mechanics of collecting, transporting and submitting the samples; analysing to reveal systematic and trending errors; deciding what is and what isn’t a failure; and to making the changes in the resource database.

We take an holistic view of QAQC and emphasise the importance of having a rigorous and comprehensive system. We also emphasise learning the key techniques by building the analysis tools in Excel and by analysing and commenting on real-life QAQC data.
