Upgrade for e-MTS, our virtual classroom area for resources, assessments and e-Learning

Our virtual environment for learning, e-MTS, will be familiar to anyone who has completed iLearn, the HPLC e-learning course, or has attempted an assessment after attendance at one of our courses. We are currently upgrading our site to the most recent version of Moodle which will allow easier navigation and extra features.
The site may be unavailable briefly during the week commencing 22nd July while the upgrade is taking place but we will endeavour to minimise disruption. Please contact us if you have any problems using our e-MTS help form.

Auditing and Consultancy Services from MTS

Mourne Training Services has gained a reputation for high quality training solutions through our range of open enrolment training events and also in-house training programmes delivered at customer sites. We would like to draw your attention to other related services that may assist in the pharmaceutical laboratory, namely auditing and consultancy.

We can offer laboratory specific auditing which allows a detailed investigation of both compliance with the relevant regulatory standards, and whether a sound scientific approach to analytical chemistry has been applied. This may be required for an upcoming inspection or simply as an independent assessment of how your laboratory is performing. We can help you to achieve a balance between ticking all the boxes for regulatory compliance and having the understanding of the underlying science which ensures data quality.

Our auditing service may be combined with consultancy services to assist in the implementation of the audit outcomes. We will provide practical advice and assistance on how any shortcomings can be corrected. Ultimately a training solution may be identified which we will be happy to advise on, and prepare and deliver if desired.

Contact us to discuss your pharmaceutical analysis auditing, consultancy and training needs and we will provide a quality solution at a reasonable cost.
