A private, fully customized specialist course in hazard control, delivered 1-on-1 around your schedule and built on your own operation. You finish able to put listeria & pathogen environmental control skills to work immediately.
The Certified Listeria & Pathogen Environmental Control Specialist course builds deep, applied competence in listeria and pathogen control for high-care and ready-to-eat environments, zoning, sampling, investigation, and corrective actions. It is delivered 1-on-1, in English, and customized to your operation.

Eight modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.
How Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and other pathogens enter, survive and spread, and why ready-to-eat foods carry the risk.
Hygiene zones one to four, flow of people, air and water, and the design faults that create harbourage sites.
Choosing sites, swab numbers, frequency and target organisms, and writing the sampling plan.
Swab technique, indicator organisms, Listeria species compared with monocytogenes, lab methods and turnaround times.
Investigating a positive, vector swabbing, finding the niche, deep cleaning and proving it is gone.
Wet and dry cleaning, sanitiser rotation, condensation, drains and product controls such as pH and water activity.
Reading trends, setting triggers, product testing decisions and how regulators and schemes review your programme.
A zone map, sampling plan and corrective action procedure for your own plant.
We work from a plan of your own plant. You draw the zones, choose the swab sites and write the sampling plan for your lines, and we review your past results if you have them.
