Microbiological Testing for Small and Medium Enterprises
Laboratory and Quality Management|3 days|Classroom or live online
Microbiological Testing for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including measurement uncertainty, quality management systems and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, accreditation preparation and root cause analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put proficiency testing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against ISO 17025
- Take ownership of accreditation preparation rather than escalating it
- Improve root cause analysis within their own organisation
- Explain supplier qualification to someone who does not do the work
