Course Name:

3 Day RPS Basic Training

** Please note, that due to COVID we are delivering the below course online via teams as a 2 Day RPS Course (as we cannot carry out the practical online) up until June. We will review Q3 & Q4 closer to the time and can hopefully get back to classroom training then. **

• Basic Physics of Ionising Radiations
• Biological Effects of Ionising Radiations

• Industrial Radiography
