This series of webinars on fundamental measurement concepts are presented as applicable for any field of metrology: Who’s Who in Metrology and Accreditation, SI Basis for Measurements, Essential Elements of Traceability, Method Validation (Documented Procedures), Technical Competence (Proficiency Testing), Calibration Intervals, Measurement Assurance, Measurement Uncertainty, Calibration Certificates and Evaluations, Supplier Evaluation, and Assessing Traceability. Several sections will integrate risk management philosophies and approaches.
Notice: This is a 16-hour course, with no hands-on measurement applications, and while similar to in some modules, it is not in alignment with, successful completion of the full NIST OWM Fundamentals of Metrology seminar. This course does not meet follow-on course prerequisites of the full seminar to qualify for participation in the NIST Mass Metrology Seminar or Volume Seminar. The course may be used as a preparatory course for the full Fundamentals of Metrology seminar. See additional information below regarding the intended Audience.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
None. Materials and handouts provided prior to and during the session. Participants must have access to online Adobe Connect seminar room and ability to download files from Google Drive and upload files to dedicated Box accounts for workshop materials.

This series of webinars is applicable for participants new to metrology, new to metrology management, as a refresher of fundamental concepts with a high level view, or for anyone responsible for providing on-the-job training to new metrologists to help identify key concepts and prepare someone new to metrology for a successful career.
The registration fee for this class is $995.00. Payment instructions will be included in the confirmation materials and will be due by May 10, 2022. Registration fees for State weights and measures regulatory officials and metrologists are funded by NIST OWM. As noted: This course is NOT applicable for full time metrology staff except as preliminary support as a preparatory course. It may NOT be substituted for the full Fundamentals of Metrology seminar.
