Description: The Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) encourages our community to participate in professional development opportunities to build and extend their technical skills. All scheduled events can be found on this site. OWM offers a variety of in-person, online, and "blended" training classes and materials that provide guidance instruction on national legal metrology standards, weights and measures field inspection procedures, and laws and regulations related to packaging and labeling. OWM provides technical training on the International System of Units (SI) and U.S. metrication and offers professional development to STEM educators and the weights and measures community. OWM also provides numerous classroom and laboratory-based metrology training courses.
