Foster safety culture, mitigate risks, and become a lab safety leader

This has been wonderful training and development to prepare me for advancement. Scott provided a good outline of steps to take to improve oneself as a manager and leader. And yes, I absolutely got the promotion just two weeks ago! I am now the assistant manager. Thanks Scott and Lab Manager Academy!

Completing the Lab Safety Management Certificate program aligns seamlessly with my long-term professional goals, as every piece of continuing education adds to my arsenal of tools and expertise essential for excelling in my position. Ultimately, this certification strengthens my ability to serve as a proficient and adept leader in the field of laboratory management.

The day after I completed the program, we had a personnel issue in which I had to include our administrators, advisors, and sports staff. I was able to use my new management skills from the Academy in a real-life situation and come up with an appropriate course of action.

Professional development is an important aspect within my career, so the Certificate program has been a great asset. I enjoyed the course delivery mode, having it online and asynchronous works great for my schedule as I am in a different time zone, so I can complete the courses on my own time. I enjoyed that multi-tasking was discouraged by the platform. Also, the courses are not like webinars as there are plenty of activities to click through and are quite interactive. Thank you, Lab Manager team!

I enjoyed the length of each course and that I could easily schedule them into my work calendar when it suited me best. Each year during our reviews, staff are required to show management how we continue to improve ourselves through professional development. These courses fit perfectly into my professional development plans.
