C

provides the trainer with the opportunity to customize the training experience to best fit the

this training outline is designed with flexibility in mind.
Topics
The materials in this guide support the training of eight main topics:
r Topic 1 Getting to Know Your Instrument
r Topic 2 Startup/Shutdown
r Topic 3 Set Up Options
r Topic 4 Quality Assurance
r Topic 5 Calibration
r Topic 6 Sample Analysis
r Topic 7 Data Management and Review
r Topic 8 System Diagnostics and Maintenance
Each main topic is further divided into several related topics (subjects) that may be included,
as needed, in your training. Each of these smaller topics includes four elements:
A Objectives. Lists the objectives the trainee is expected to meet at the completion of the topic.
B References. Lists the sections in the customer documentation where the topic is covered.
These references can be used by the trainer to prepare for teaching the topic and could be
assigned to the trainee as prerequisite or review reading.
C Special Instructions. Lists the instrument conditions that must be met, supplies needed
(when applicable), and other tips to the trainer for completing the topic.
D Topic Notes and Tasks. Lists the key facts that should be covered and suggests tasks to
