Microbiological Testing for Non-Specialists
Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online
Microbiological Testing for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through corrective and preventive action and laboratory design without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with root cause analysis, document control and measurement uncertainty in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring root cause analysis into line with current good practice, measured against ISO 9001
- Review document control and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain measurement uncertainty to someone who does not do the work
- Spot where internal auditing is failing before it becomes a finding
