Training
Universal classroom-based training courses with practical focus - many available online virtually:
These courses are based within the classroom, make use of 'props' (instrument parts and consumables) for you to handle and you'll be presented with lots of tips and tricks. Although there will be no laboratory-based practical exercises, the courses have a strong focus on the practical information regarding the techniques rather than being all theoretical so this knowledge can be utilised the instant you return to your lab.
