Certificate in Cleanroom Behaviour in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing

Description

This module equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to uphold the highest standards of cleanliness and contamination control in biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

This blended course in NIBRT introduces the essential behaviours and protocols required for maintaining cleanroom standards in a biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment. The course combines online theoretical sessions with hands-on practical training to ensure comprehensive understanding and application of cleanroom practices.

This course includes both hands-on practical and lecture components covering topics such as cleanroom classification, contamination control, gowning, behaviour and best practices.

During this course trainees will be introduced to the basics of cleanroom gowning and entry, gloving, environmental monitoring and sampling in a theory session before building on this knowledge and performing these operations using a practical component and practical scenarios to troubleshoot.

Learning Outcomes

• Outline the the critical importance of cleanroom behaviour in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Describe standards and protocols for maintaining a contamination-free environment.
• Practice skills in gowning, environmental monitoring, and cleanroom maintenance.
• Identify and mitigate potential contamination risks.

NIBRT Global Qualification (NGQ) 

The NIBRT Global Qualifications (NGQs) are internationally recognised training qualifications setting a new benchmark for biopharmaceutical education and workforce development. 

Earn your NGQ by completing a micro-credential accredited by ATU – a short, flexible and accredited way to upskill and advance your biopharma career.

Step 1 – Complete a cleanroom behaviour practical training course at the NIBRT facility or at an affiliated NIBRT Global Partner site.
The cleanroom behaviour practical training module provides students with a fundamental understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects to support both understanding and real-world application of cleanroom practices.

Step 2 – Register for the corresponding NGQ below for €500. To earn the qualification, you will complete a multiple-choice quiz, a 2,000-word lab report, and a 1,500-word reflective assessment. Upon successful completion, you will receive your accredited NGQ certificate (5 ECTS). NGQs are stackable, leading to a Special Purpose Award (30 ECTS).

Fee Payment: €500 fee is paid directly to NIBRT via a payment link that will be sent post registration. If you have received a funding subsidy, you will be sent a payment link for the adjusted amount owed.
