Training & Verification Technical Management System (TVS)
What is TVS?
TVS is a management Training System that starts with training the owners, managers, and key technicians in the laboratory to lay the foundation for future growth. TVS clearly establishes a Technical Standard in your laboratory.
Why choose TVS?
When you train a new technician, how do you know with certainty that they have full conceptual understanding of the material? If you aren't sure they are grounded in the fundamentals how can you expect them to understand new & advanced concepts?
