Tutoring input for the BTI is supplied by expert and experienced professionals from the University of Edinburgh, under the direction of the University's corporate Health and Safety department. The academic objective of the BTI is to formulate and deliver high quality biosafety training provision to match the world renowned reputation of The University of Edinburgh for research and teaching in the biological and biomedical sciences. Since May 2011, the BTI has been developed as a Centre of Excellence, utilising our own in-house course materials, to ensure that teaching is to the standard required by the University. The BTI became an Observer Organisation to the International Federation of Biosafety Associations (IFBA) in 2016. The BTI is currently exploring joint opportunities with the IFBA, through the provision of education and training to help prove competence, in relation to their scheme for Professional Certification (PC) in Biorisk Management.

We are delighted to announce that our Biosafety Practitioner Level 1 course has moved to a new, improved learning platform. We are also returning to fixed course dates, with delegates going through the course as a cohort, allowing more opportunities for communication, discussion and networking.

We will be moving the Professional Course in Biorisk Management to new platform soon, but it will continue in its original platform until then.

We have now had over 200 delegates successfully complete the full online Biosafety Practitioner Level 1 course, which was introduced at the start of the pandemic. Thanks to everyone who has given us feedback via email and on Facebook (please see Reviews tab), and recommended us to others. It's so lovely to have (virtually) met so many new people, added to our online community, and know that we have helped others through such a busy and tough time. The online courses (BSP and PCBM) are still available online, and we hope to be able to offer the hybrid BSP again soon at www.bti.ed.ac.uk
Best wishes from the BTI team.
