One of OCCAM’s key strengths is in innovative experiential training of highly qualified personnel. Training in the operation of virtually all tools and equipment within the facility, including everything from sample grinders within OCCAM’s OptiTech-Buehler Solutions Centre to high-end transmission electron microscopes, is available.

As part of operational training, users are required to complete safety training, undergo in-person hands-on training with a facility staff member, and review/acknowledge facility operational rules and procedures. A user authorization form must be completed and submitted prior to finalized certification. Users can click here to request training and certification.
