Training
The Histology and Imaging Core also provides training to professional staff and students on equipment and techniques.
The core has cryostats, microtomes, and microscopes available for reservation. To avoid scheduling conflicts and maintenance issues, all equipment must be reserved using Outlook calendars, and individual users must be trained by core staff.
The Leica confocal has a separate training procedure consisting of two 2-hour supervised sessions, several informational videos, and an online quiz. The first training session is an introduction to the microscope guided by core staff. The second session entails imaging of a user-generated sample with minimal intervention from Core staff. Upon completion of a proficiency quiz, users can reserve time as desired.

Badges
The UNE Badging program is a non-credit bearing vehicle that digitally validates and documents knowledge, skill sets, qualifications, and competencies. Open to all learners, any participant who completes the learning activities and demonstrates achievement of the learning outcomes/competencies for a badge would be able to claim it. Sharing badges with graduate schools, potential employers, etc., is a great way to demonstrate some of the skills and competencies you have acquired that are not captured in an academic transcript.
For interested students, the core is now part of the UNE Badging program. Students will gain a knowledge-base and skillsets relevant to the core specialty.
