Welcome to the Biosafety Training Institute
The Biosafety Training Institute (BTI) has been developed by The University of Edinburgh as a centre of excellence, delivering accredited professional biosafety training courses to a specialist audience most of whom have first degrees, with many also having postgraduate qualifications.
Initially targeted at biological and biomedical research workers in Universities, the BTI courses are suitable for anyone with a role in health and safety within a biological or biomedical environment, including biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries.
The Biosafety Practitioner Level 1 course (for delegates within the UK) is now in our new, improved online learning platform, offering delegates a more enjoyable learning experience. To enable effective communication, discussion and networking opportunities, we have reintroduced fixed course dates, allowing delegates to go through the training together, as a cohort.
The Professional Course in Biorisk Management (for delegates outside the UK) is currently available to start immediately
(on receipt of booking form and payment).
