The mole is the SI unit used to express chemical amount. Accurate chemical measurements are vital for a range of applications including accurately administering medicines, monitoring environmental pollution, assuring food and water quality and optimising chemical engineering processes.

The Mole and Chemical Metrology course is part of the National Physical Laboratory’s (NPL) Fundamentals of Metrology training programme. The programme is comprised of seven standalone modules, each corresponding to one of the seven SI base units. The module is delivered via a series of pre-recorded video lectures and includes a scheduled live group Q&A session with metrology experts from NPL. Please note this course is only available for private cohorts. Please contact NPL Training if you would like more information on enrolling a cohort.

This course includes the following topics:

• Fundamentals and evolution of chemical measurement.
• The mole and its realisation.
• Chemical measurement
• Practical chemical measurement.

Learners who successfully complete the course will receive an NPL Certificate of Completion.

Module Prerequisites
To lay the foundations for this module, all learners are provided with access to two half-day NPL e-learning courses: Introduction to Measurement and Metrology and Introduction to Measurement Uncertainty. Learners should complete both of these courses before starting this module.
