Really fun course! Coming in with no BSL-3 experience, I now feel knowledgeable about how BSL-3 labs work and prepared to start working in a BSL-3 lab (after more specific training for my lab).

It was really helpful & was very different than actually working in BSL-3. It gives a high level perspective on how we see BSL-3 labs. Thank you so much!

Excellent experience, the facilities part was really helpful specially for new inspectors that need to evaluate those components.

The program covered items well and in-depth. I felt like others who aren’t entirely involved with BSL-3 would still highly benefit from taking this course just from all the safety practices that were reviewed and taught. Thank you!

This was a great course, especially for me coming out of academic and starting in a government lab. I truly liked the didactic & hands-on-training. It would have been nice to see the inside of a BSC. Once I saw the inside, I better understood how to clean up large spills. The quizzes were great to reinforce materials/concepts that is critical to biosafety. -May 2023

This course is essential for new BSL-3 users and probably seasoned BSL3 users to avoid bad habits & catch any potential errors.

It was a great refresher course and brought back to my mind how much I learned when I came the first time and how our lab culture/operations have changed for the better since many of our colleagues have come here.

Training was very useful as I am currently training for BSL3 access, ABSL3 access, and ultimately leading into BSL4 access. Very well cone course materials and class was not boring at all. I like the stories of your experiences too.
