AALAS Seeks Participants for Compensation Survey

Posted on 11:49 by Unknown
In January 2008, AALAS will begin conducting the fourth edition of the Laboratory Animal Facility Compensation Survey. The survey will collect detailed salary and benefit information for 12 different positions; training coordinators will be included for the first time. This survey is used extensively by facility directors, human resources departments, and compensation analysts in institutions and companies all across the United States to review salaries and set fair compensation for these positions.

An email broadcast will be sent in January 2008 to all AALAS member institutional and commercial contact members with a link to the online survey form. Institutions and companies that participate will receive a discount when purchasing the survey; in addition, participants who purchase the survey will also receive a customized individual report comparing their institution’s salaries with the overall report.

Total Pack for Technician Certification

Posted on 11:34 by Unknown
If you plan to take a technician certification exam at any level, you’ll want to take a look at the new packaging of certification resources from AALAS—the Total Pack. The Total Pack assembles the training manual plus all printed resources to help you prepare for your exam. This includes both the workbook and resource kit corresponding with the manual and the Regulatory Workbook.

The manual workbook helps you digest the content of the training manual, with questions on each chapter that you can use to focus your review of the manual’s content. Unit exams and a final exam in the workbook test your knowledge of each section of the manual. The resource kit contains all the reference materials from which your certification exam will draw questions. Acquiring a knowledge of these materials is important for succeeding in your exam, and so these important study items should not be overlooked. A Regulatory Workbook is included in the Total Pack to help you review these same reference materials through succinct summaries and practice questions.

You can still purchase each of these items separately, but the Total Pack puts all the resources you need at your fingertips and at a discount!
