This was the best training course I have ever taken. Each instructor was great in how they could relay the material and bring their own perspectives to the course. I have never seen a group of instructors with that kind of chemistry together to build off each other through the week – this I also belive helpd the group itself mesh really well. The interactive exercises added a tone to the learning experience. They were challenging but also having a short time frame for most of them helped keep us at task while also creating a bit of a stress that we will see in the field. I also greatly appreciated the approachability of the instructors; having chances to interact outside of the class was great and helped break down the walls that can be present in trainings to be able to better approach each person during the week. I cannot give enough thanks to each instructor.

ABSA’s Principles and Practices of Biosafety® is the best comprehensive source of biosafety that I have encountered. It came highly recommended and it lived up to its name. The interactive exercises and the information that was provided to us will serve me as reference material for months and years to come. Thank you so much to the ABSA team for making this a great learning experience!

I wanted to thank you again for an entertaining and informative week. I had a great time and wanted to let you know, the training and resources provided has made a difference in how I view and approach biorisk management.

This is by far the best offsite training I’ve ever gone as a student and/or professional! So much learning and so much fun at the same time! It’s a very unique and special faculty group!

Such a wonderful course that will really help me as a new professional in the biosafety field. The interactive exercises were beneficial to apply the course knowledge to practice and experience what it’s like to work with others to make risk assessments and decisions.

I really enjoyed the course. I come from a limited background in biosafety and feel as though I walked out of the course with a much greater feel and understanding of those things I encounter in our biosafety laboratories.

ABSA Principles and Practices in Biosafety® Course is a great learning experience for biosafety professional. The subjects covered are broad, deep, and practical, and the instructors are highly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny.

Excellent foundation course for the beginning biosafety professional, welcoming to a wide mix of professional backgrounds. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to establish themselves in the field, or working on implementing a biosafety risk management program at their institution.

This training was very valuable because it helped me see how much I already know, learn in more detail about things that I knew but superficially. The fact that the modules were presented by very experienced professionals gave me a sense of great appreciation for the Biosafety and Biosecurity program and willing to participate and be more active in the program

Great course providing the basics of biosafety for biosafety professionals, Outstanding instruction and important practical examples/information to help biosafety professionals to be successful and build an effective biosafety program!

I appreciate the knowledge and stories shared and I am extremely excited to bring this knowledge back to my department. I am new to biosafety and this course truly helped me understand more about it.
