ACS Short Courses make house calls The savings in time and money are tremendous! ACS Intensive Short Courses are conducted by recognized authorities and designed to advance the skills of professionals. That is why so many corporations, laboratories, government agencies and universities send staff members to these productive sessions, wherever they are given. Perhaps your organization has sent people, too. But consider the time and money that could be saved by offering these same courses, taught by the same experts, right on your own premises (or, if you prefer, at a nearby facility of your choice). Consider, too, how many more staff members could take these valuable courses for the same amount of money—or even less! You would eliminate all employee travel, hotel and per diem costs. Although the courses cover the same ground as off-site sessions, attendees can focus questions on problems related to your own organization with no possibility of proprietary secrets being revealed to competitors. Here are just a few of the important ACS Short Courses now available on an in-house basis: • • • • •
Business Aspects of Chemistry Interpretation of Mass Spectra Laboratory Safety Gas Chromatography Polymer Chemistry
And Over Thirty More!

Although savings shown here reflect tuition fees alone, consider this: Instead of paying transportation and travel fees for all participants, you will pay such expenses for just one or two instructors. That may mean that you can have more people attend for less money than it would cost to send just a few to an off-site course!
