For training and resources on vibrational spectroscopy, please check out the the diverse and informative resources curated and brought to you by our affiliated Coblentz Society.
We want to make this page a useful resource for the practitioners of spectroscopy. If you have any idea or suggestions for content to be added, please let us know.
For recommendations on professional training courses offered by the Society for Applied Spectroscopy or for information regarding on-site training courses, please email [email protected].
As part of the SAS continuing efforts to expand our spectroscopy certification and training program we are now providing a series of training seminars, courses and webinars. This training series is intended to provide a simple introduction and grounding in different types of spectroscopy for people that use or are thinking to use spectroscopy in their work or studies. The training series can also serve as a refresher for those people that need reminding of important concepts or tricks and tips in various types of spectroscopy. We will also be covering important subjects like common mistakes and how to avoid them and how to get the most out of spectroscopy in your work. Finally if you or your colleagues want to discuss spectroscopy training in more detail with any of our spectroscopy training mentors please contact [email protected]. Below are some of our training courses and webinars already available. Our training offer will be expanded continually over the coming months.
