Workshop Overview
Micro-organisms may be tiny—but in the food industry, their impact is massive. From spoilage to serious illness, controlling microbes is non-negotiable for keeping food safe and protecting consumers.
This workshop breaks down the science into simple, practical knowledge you can use in the workplace. You’ll learn how micro-organisms grow, reproduce, and sneak into food products—and more importantly, how to spot them, control them, and keep them from becoming a problem.
We’ll also dive into real-life examples of organisms linked to different foods, how they’re tested for, and what those lab results actually mean.
Learning is made fun & practical
At Progress Excellence, we do training a little differently. Whether it’s food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental, or laboratory systems – we make sure it’s practical, relevant, and easy to put into action.
We use real, sector-specific examples so the content actually makes sense in your world. Our sessions are interactive and hands-on, with activities that help turn theory into something you can apply straight away.
Plus, we share ready-to-use templates and implementation plans to make your job easier. Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to not just understand the requirements, but to actually apply them and improve your systems in a meaningful way.
The Progress Excellence Approach
We make microbiology simple, practical, and engaging:
✨ Explaining microbiology terms in everyday language.
✨ Using case studies to bring spoilage and disease scenarios to life.
✨ Interactive examples and activities that connect microbiology to real food safety challenges.
What You’ll Walk Away With
✔ A clear understanding of different types of micro-organisms.
✔ Insight into how microbes grow, reproduce, and spread.
✔ Practical methods to control microbial growth in the workplace.
✔ Knowledge of common organisms behind food spoilage and foodborne disease.
✔ The skills to interpret microbiological test results and make the right decisions.
