CLEAPSS Supporting practical science and technology
 
Senior

Courses for senior technicians or others with considerable experience that aspire to become a senior technician.



*
Electrical Inspection and Testing

This one-day course (usually about 4½ hours, excluding any breaks) is designed mainly for science and technology technicians who will be carrying out electrical inspection and testing in schools and colleges but who have limited electrical knowledge.

*
Fume Cupboard Monitoring (ducted and/or filter fume cupboards)

It is the responsibility of employers who provide fume cupboards to ensure that they are tested at 14-monthly intervals (COSHH Regulations).

*
Prep Room Management and Health & Safety for Senior Technicians (Running a Prep Room)

This one-day discussion based course explores and shares ideas for good prep room management.

*
Reduced and Microscale Chemistry

Practical procedures for pupils using conventional equipment are often time-consuming and maybe left out of teaching, consequently lowering pupil expectations of secondary school science.

*
Surely it's banned? (talk intended for teachers but technicians are also very welcome)

This talk with over 16 chemistry demonstrations takes its title from the report written for the Royal Society of Chemistry, which showed that pupils often do not witness the many wonderful visual experiences that science (and particularly chemistry) has to offer.

*
Working with Glass

This one-day practical course will provide technicians with the knowledge and skills required to make most of the simple bends, and other items required for gas preparation, in most secondary school science departments.
