Brewing Microbiology 101

Description

This online programme provides a comprehensive foundation in brewery microbiology, supporting learners in developing a structured, risk-based approach to contamination control, detection, identification, interpretation and reporting.

Learners will explore how microorganisms behave in brewery environments, how contamination is prevented and detected, and how microbiological data should be interpreted and applied to support effective operational decision-making.

The programme explains how a complete microbiology system—from hygiene and sampling through to analysis, validation and reporting—enables breweries to identify risks earlier, respond appropriately and build robust quality management systems that protect product stability and consumer safety.

The programme is delivered online and can be completed at your own pace. Individuals enrolled on this course will have access for 180 days from purchase.
