Microbiological Testing Masterclass
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into non-conformance management, quality management systems and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 9001. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, method validation and data integrity in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve proficiency testing within their own organisation, measured against ISO 9001
- Spot where method validation is failing before it becomes a finding
- Make a decision about data integrity without waiting for a specialist
- Explain root cause analysis to someone who does not do the work
