National STEM Training Centre, York
What is covered in the ‘Introduction to QC Microbiology’ course
This 2-day course is designed for those who are new to pharmaceutical microbiology. The course is laboratory-based and has a strong focus on practical techniques, as well as group exercises and lectures. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice fundamental techniques. Course contents include: good laboratory practice, culture maintenance, microbial enumeration and identification, environmental monitoring, and aseptic technique.
- You will leave this course with a clear understanding of not only what happens in a microbiology lab, but why the tests are performed and how to interpret the results.
- Training in the basics will help you to:
- Implement best practices in the QC microbiology lab
- Evaluate the effectiveness of current control measures
- Maintain compliance with cGMP expectations for the laboratory
Who should attend?
Attendees should have a basic grasp of microbiology theory, but only limited or no practical experience. This course is ideal for new lab technicians, graduates, apprentices, and anyone new to the microbiology laboratory environment, as well as managers, production, engineering and QA staff wanting to understand the basics of microbiology laboratory practice.
Delegates who also need a basic understanding of microbiology theory can join our “Microbiology for Non-Microbiologists” which runs the day before this event.
Discounts apply for joining both courses.
Delegates are welcome to submit questions in advance and during the course
