Hybrid
Course dates : 1 October – 14 November 2018 (training in Edinburgh 12-14 November 2018)
This course consists of some e-learning and three consecutive days of contact training by the Biosafety Training Institute (BTI) tutors, held in Edinburgh.
Delegates are given access to e-learning materials and instructions on the start date above and have six weeks before they are due to attend the teaching days in Edinburgh. All of the e-learning modules and assessments must be completed within this six week period, prior to attending the face to face training in Edinburgh.
** As the e-learning part of the course does not take the full six weeks to complete, delegates are welcome to register up to two weeks before the start of the face to face teaching part of the course, should the course have availability. The delegate must accept that they have the time from registration to the start of the face to face teaching part of the course to complete the required e-learning on time.**
The cost of the hybrid course is £1,500* per delegate. This covers access to the online information, the course materials, tutor training, workshops, refreshments and lunch each day (during face to face training in Edinburgh). Please note that the cost of the course is exempt of VAT.
*Prices detailed are for delegates from the UK/Europe. Interested delegates from outside UK/Europe should contact the BTI for rates relating to their region/country. Delegates employed in Higher Education institutions are entitled to this training at a slightly reduced rate. Please contact the BTI for details.

BTI Community
The BTI likes to keep in touch with its delegates and offer ongoing assistance and advice. Once a delegate has confirmation of a course booking, the BTI will invite them to join “BTI-Net”, a private Facebook discussion group. Past and present BTI delegates use this forum to keep in touch with others who were on their course, network with others in the sector, to ask advice and to share news of interest. Participating in this group is entirely optional.
