| Nuclear Training Services |
 |
| The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) provides different technical services to other government agencies, private companies, medical institutions, the academe, and the general public. One of these services is the provision of training courses in nuclear science and technology, and nondestructive testing techniques (in cooperation with the Philippine Society for Nondestructive Testing). |

The training program of the PNRI on nuclear science and technology aims to familiarize participants with the fundamentals of nuclear science and technology, the basic principles of radiation protection, and the peaceful applications of nuclear technologies in agriculture, in medicine, in industry, in research and the environment.
The nuclear training courses are offered every year to different groups such as medical practitioners, science educators, researchers, engineers, and technicians.
The courses consist of lectures, experiments, film showings, demonstrations, workshops and case studies. Examinations are given to assess the participants' understanding of the subject matter being taught. Certificates of satisfactory completion are issued to participants who have demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter presented and the ability to apply it.
Some of these courses have been accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) with masteral units.
