Request training on an instrument

Prior to being authorised to book an instrument, users will usually need to ‘request a training’. Training can be requested directly from the Homepage (see below).

Users need to complete a Training Request Form in RIMS. Some instruments cannot be used until completion of this training has been verified by facility administrators. This will vary between instruments and is determined by the needs of each facility. Please contact local facility admin staff for assistance with completing this form if needed.

Training can also be requested by selecting the 'Request' tab on the top ribbon menu [1] (see below).

• Click on the correct form link listed under Training Requests [2]. Complete form details. 

Note: Training forms are facility and instrument specific.

The training form/s may have mandatory questions. There may also be a charge for some training and this will require entering the Project chartstring in this request form.

An example of a facility-specific training form is shown below;

When the form is complete,

• Click ‘Submit request’ at the bottom of the form to send to facility admin for validation.

Once submitted, the system generates a confirmation message (see below);

The status and progress of training requests submitted can be tracked from the user's Homepage dashboard (under the Training section);
