Environmental Monitoring & QC Microbiology Training Course

CGT Catapult and bioMérieux have partnered to offer a new practical, co-delivered introductory two-day course focused on strengthening functional day-to-day Micro QC competence supporting SOP alignment in GMP Environmental Monitoring for Micro QC and microbiological control in GMP aseptic manufacture in the ATMP environment.

Course Learning Outcomes

  • Explain and apply core cGMP principles in GMP aseptic settings
  • Build EM approaches that support contamination prevention and control
  • Consolidate microbiology knowledge: microorganism types, growth conditions, and risk to product quality/safety
  • Reinforce cleanroom compliance: PPE, gowning, hygiene, and controlled-environment behaviours
  • Become familiar with sampling techniques and regulatory compliance requirements used in testing for microbiological and particulate monitoring
  • Develop confidence in correct documentation for compliance and traceability (aligned to data integrity / ALCOA++)
  • Learn real-time practical responses and appropriate interventions to deviations or non-compliances: pathways to escalation and investigational support of resulting CAPAs
  • Understand and apply latest regulatory updates in your facility e.g. EU GMP Annex 1 expectations for EM and microbiology in routine and atypical events
Who it’s for:

QC Micro/EM, GMP Processing Scientists, QA/QC Teams, Facilities/Cleanroom support; Validation/MSAT/PAT and Tech transfer roles needing cross-functional alignment.

Expect learning that builds confidence to:

  • apply GMP basics in controlled environments
  • practise EM and sampling/testing approaches
  • understand microbiology fundamentals and contamination risk
  • document correctly for compliance and traceability (ALCOA++)
  • respond appropriately to deviations and support CAPA
  • apply relevant regulation expectations including EU GMP Annex 1
