Where projects requires ongoing analyses users may choose to be trained to undertake their own analysis and book instrument time to do so. The hourly rate for user access substantially less than for analysis undertaken by BMSF staff. Training arrangements are usually worked out at the time of project registration.:

User training is cost recovered at the same rate as analysis by BMSF staff but this cost is quickly recouped in savings once the user is trained. After training the user is 'licensed' to operate the equipment covered in the training and BMSF staff continue to provide assistance in a coaching capacity if needed.
