This training course provides participants with a structured and practice-oriented understanding of aseptic processing and contamination control. It goes beyond theoretical learning by connecting regulatory expectations with day-to-day operational reality in sterile manufacturing.

The program covers the key elements that determine sterility assurance in aseptic operations, including:

  • Fundamental of microbiology concepts
  • The principles of cleaning and disinfection
  • Cleanroom behavior
  • Fundamentals of environmental monitoring
  • Fundamentals of first air and airflow visualization
  • Fundamentals of barrier technology
  • Practical aspects of aseptic interventions and equipment setup

A strong focus is placed on Grade A protection for modern aseptic processing environments. The training course is designed to be interactive and engaging, combining expert-led input with discussion-based learning and practical examples. Participants will strengthen their ability to recognize and assess typical contamination risks, and translate best practices into robust procedures for their own aseptic operations.
