CPD courses at LSTM

Integrate study into your career with our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) short courses to expand your knowledge and advance your skills.

A student in a white lab coat and blue gloves looks through a microscope at a laboratory bench, while a teacher in a white lab coat leans over to observe and support. On the bench are lab items including a plastic container, labelled tape, and a dropper. In the background, a large digital screen displays a magnified microscopic image, and several lab coats hang on a rack. The bright, modern laboratory is equipped with desks, stools, and additional microscopes.

Our CPD short courses offer focused learning that helps you stay current and build new skills for your day-to-day practice.

Choose a topic that fits your role and goals, and take away practical knowledge you can use straight away. You will also join an international learning community, sharing experience with professionals working in different settings around the world.
