THE Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has planned to hold several virtual training courses throughout the remainder of 2020.

According to a post on its facebook page, on June 25, the Bureau will begin a course on the Introduction to Metrology.

Metrology is the study of measurements and participants will be provided with information regarding its importance, as well as applications, and the necessity for accuracy and calibration.

The beneficiaries of courses include those who work in Industry that deals with calibration and measurements, as well as persons whose interests include measurements and calibration.

The Bureau is also targeting laboratory personnel, managers and supervisors of businesses and organisations and quality managers. According to the Bureau, training is critical as it relates to developing and enhancing the staff’s capacity in an organisation.

During the year, the Guyana National Bureau of Standards has been involved in training with several organisations, including certifying officers of the Guyana Police Force, in the area of metrology.

Interested persons are asked to make contact with the Bureau’s Business Support Services Department to find out how to register by emailing bss@gnbsgy.org or calling 219-0064-0066 ext. 233.
