ISO/IEC 17025 affects far more than the analysts working at the bench. Competent laboratory work depends on connected activities – from reviewing requests and receiving items to selecting methods, controlling equipment, recording technical work, and reporting results.
This Foundation course puts those pieces together. You will learn what laboratory competence means, how ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is structured, why impartiality and risk matter, what documented information supports the system, and what laboratories do to implement the standard and achieve accreditation.
It is designed for people who need a useful working overview without specialist implementer or auditor training. Complete the course entirely online and at your own pace, then pass the included final examination to earn your Certificate of Attainment.

If the course is not right for you, request a full refund within 30 days, provided you have not completed it.
This course gives you the context to understand discussions, decisions, and responsibilities involving an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory management system. Upon completion, you will:
Four focused sessions build your understanding progressively. The course includes:
Session 1: Overview of ISO/IEC 17025:2017
An introduction to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard – its purpose, scope, and importance for testing and calibration laboratories. You will understand what accreditation means, why it matters, and the risk-based approach that forms a key component of the 2017 version.
What you'll learn: The role of ISO/IEC 17025 in demonstrating laboratory competence and the fundamentals of risk-based thinking.
Session 2: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Requirements
A clear, clause-by-clause overview of the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. You will examine each major requirement and understand what it means in practical terms for testing and calibration laboratories.
What you'll learn: The key requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and how they apply to laboratory operations.
Session 3: ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory System Documentation
A focused look at the documentation requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. You will learn the important distinction between management system documents and technical records. The session covers what documentation is typically required and why proper control is essential.
What you'll learn: What documentation is needed for an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory management system and how it should be controlled.
Session 4: Steps for Implementation & Accreditation
The final session explains the pathway to ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. You will learn about the typical steps laboratories take – from initial gap analysis through to the accreditation assessment – and understand what is involved at each stage of the process.
What you'll learn: How laboratories implement ISO/IEC 17025 and what to expect during the accreditation process.
This course is for people who need to understand ISO/IEC 17025 as a whole but are not responsible for implementing or auditing the entire laboratory management system. It is particularly suitable for:
No prior knowledge of ISO/IEC 17025 is required. The course begins with the fundamentals and explains laboratory management concepts in clear language.
Foundation Training is not a prerequisite for our role-specific courses. Learners who will implement or audit the laboratory management system can go directly to the training for that role.
Short session exams help you check your understanding as you progress. A multiple-choice final examination confirms your knowledge of the complete course. You need a score of 60% or higher to pass, and unlimited retakes are included at no additional charge.
After passing the final examination, you will receive a Certificate of Attainment documenting your ISO/IEC 17025 Foundation training. It can serve as an employer training record and demonstrate your commitment to understanding laboratory competence and management systems.
The certificate bears the IACET accreditation mark, and the course awards 0.4 IACET CEUs.
Your digital certificate is available immediately after you pass. Download it, print it, or add it to your LinkedIn profile directly from your course dashboard.
Give people across your laboratory and supporting functions a consistent understanding of ISO/IEC 17025 and how their work connects to competent laboratory activities. Purchase multiple seats in one transaction and manage every enrollment from a central dashboard.
The course manager can assign seats and track each learner's enrollment, progress, and certificate status from one place.
