Fill Out a Dossier

It’s our policy to have contact information and knowledge of a user’s training in a dossier. For this we require a recognizable photo, email and phone numbers for both yourself and your supervisor, along with information about your typical processes.


Getting Trained

To get started it is required for users to go through training on our machines, as well Environmental Health and Safety Training.

EHS Training

For Eniviromental Health and Safety Training follow the link. For those with a UCF ID, EHS training is free of charge and offered multiple times a month. It expires yearly, so it’s the user’s responsibility to keep it up to date.

General Cleanroom Training Course

Arrange a time to be trained on how our facilties operate. Everything from how our log in system works, to what our policies are. Contact us at mpf@physics.ucf.edu for the current training schedule.

Machine Training

To use each machine, you need to be trained by a cleanroom technician or the Superuser. You can contact us at mpf@physics.ucf.edu or use the Contact a Superuser page to setup training.
