Microbiology for the food industry.

Online classroom

General

To guarantee food quality and food safety as a company, proper microbiological control is obviously crucial. Assessing microbiological risks and taking adequate control measures requires the necessary knowledge about microorganisms and their properties and living conditions. This also requires knowledge to assess and test microbiological analyses against the requirements of laws and regulations.

This training requires prior knowledge of microorganisms, growth factors and control measures. Therefore, we offer our e-learning module "Microbiology and controlling contamination and spoilage" for preparation. View detailed description of this online course.

Target

This classroom (online) training course aims to help you get a better grip in your work on how to assess the microbiological analyses you commission and how to correctly interpret and apply the criteria required by food hygiene laws and regulations.

Target audience

Are you an employee or manager in a food company and would you like to better understand where the microbiological risks are in the process, how to adequately sample them and how to correctly interpret the results according to legislation? Then this training is for you!

Topics

In this training you will learn:

  • What is the relationship between microorganisms and products.
  • What analyses you commission and how you evaluate the results.
  • What laws and regulations apply and how to apply those criteria.
  • How to address follow-up analyses or improvements.

Course participants rate this
training with an 8.1

"Expertise, good and clear explanations and useful information. Professional knowledge of the trainer and the content of the lessons."
"Because it was very interesting. I learned a lot."
"Nice basic training and useful to gain or possibly refresh knowledge. The online learning environment where you could take the e-learning before the course. Good preparation."
"I would recommend the training in case the participant still has little or no microbiological knowledge. In that case, especially in the online preparation, you gain a lot of knowledge. With more experience in this subject, the training does not have a lot of added value I think. For me this was not a problem, but there were also people who might not need this training. Maybe this would be better communicated on the website."
"Good foundation if you want to know more about microbiology."
"It is instructive. I find the e-learning itself more instructive than the interactive part of the training. E-learning also looks nice. It is nice that there is room for questions and that you can learn from each other, though."
"Information was clear; easy to apply the knowledge in practice."
"Gives a clear picture of what is involved in the subject of microbiology and how to approach it in theory and practice."
"Theory already covered in e-learning, training more focused on practice with room for own questions/input."
"Because of the practical applicability of the subject and the way it was explained. I found that very clear."
"Lots of clear information and was well addressed to specific learning goals of the students(although a whole day of online training was tough)."
"Very informative and informative."
