Overview

This interactive training course takes place at the Skan Academy, in the newly built Skan Headquarters, in Basel.

On the first day, participants will get an overview of all aspects of the isolator. Theoretical units alternate with hands-on units, so that the participants can experience what they have heard live.
On the second day, the focus is on glove handling. Here, too, both theory and hands-on units are offered.

During the training course there is enough time and space for exchange of experiences and discussions. For this reason, the training course is designed for a limited number of participants only.
