Analyzer training

Hi everybody,
I have some questions to labs who have analyzers with multiple users who
run their own samples.

1.      What sort of training do you provide for the users who will run
their own samples? (How long (hours/days/weeks?); what do you cover in the
training (general flow pronciples/specifics of the instrument/software?);
how often do you have the training sessions; do you charge for training and
if so how much)

2.      How do you determine if someone is capable to run samples and get
good data?  (Do you have them take an exam; run samples with you
supervising, etc.)

The reason I ask this is because I have been doing alot of training
recently for our XL-MCL (users have 24/7/365 access) and I was curious how
other labs handle these situations.

Thanks for any and all replies.
I'll post a summary if I get any responses directly.

Andy
