We're excited to share that our 2026 Laboratory Quality Management Systems (LQMS) course has officially started!
We kicked off our 10-week course on November 3 with Dr. Emily Glynn leading our first session on Introduction to Laboratory Quality Management, Facilities, and Safety, and Dr. Morgan Pence moderating the discussion.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us from around the world! We're so excited to have you participating and look forward to the weeks ahead.
We're also grateful to our co-host, BioMed Connect, for helping make this course possible!
Frequently Asked Questions
We've received quite a few questions since the course started and we wanted to share some answers to help everyone get settled in!
Can I still register for the course?
Unfortunately, registration is now closed.
I missed the first class. Can I still participate?
Yes! As long as you registered before registration closed and created your Frappe account, you can still participate. All lectures are recorded and uploaded to Frappe so you can watch them if you can't attend live.
Are the pre-tests required?
No. Pre-tests are optional but we strongly encourage everyone to complete them before class. They help you see what you already know and help us measure how much participants are learning.
Do I need to pass the post-tests to receive my certificate?
No! There is no minimum passing score. You just need to complete and submit every post-test.
Where can I find the recordings, quizzes, and course materials?
Everything is available in Frappe under the LQMS course. You can log in using the email address you registered with.
