Certificate and Training Programs

Many community and junior colleges, as well as some colleges and universities, are offering short-term biotechnology training and certificate programs, A. A. and B. A. degrees. Some universities are also offering graduate certification programs. The following include some of the institutions that are offering training and certificate programs:

California State University, Hayward (CSUH) –Biotechnology Certificate Program (BCP) — The Biotechnology Certificate Program (BCP) was established at CSUH in 1986 to meet the personnel requirements of the rapidly expanding Bay Area biotechnology industry. The program was among the first in California to offer an integrated series of courses in the molecular life sciences leading to a certificate. CSUH is presenting two new programs of study in Bioinformatics and Regulatory Affairs. The Bioinformatics program is offered in the evening and the Regulatory Affairs program is completely on-line and is offered in association with San Diego State University.

In the manufacturing of food, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics, assuring top quality control is a top-notch priority. Bench technicians who have studied Biotechnology Technician – Industrial Microbiology, are the professionals responsible for this critical task. In their job, these biotechnology technicians isolate, enumerate and identify microorganisms from several varieties of samples (water, soil, air, your body, and food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic items). This is a key component of the job, as is preparing specimens for staining and utilizing a light-microscope. In addition, biotechnology technicians deal with materials and instruments such as pH and BOD meters, Gas Chromatographs, spectrophotometers (normal/IR/UV), HPLC’s etc. Lastly, they prepare microbiological media and reagents culture pathogenic microbes and style and perform their own microbiology experiments.

Those with an interest in this field can apply to Centennial College’s Biotechnology Technician program, which entails two years of study and gives thorough practical training in industrial microbiology as nicely as chemistry (analytical and organic) and biochemistry. This Biotechnology Technician – Industrial Microbiology program has been nationally accredited by the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists, which has deemed it as having met the national technology accreditation requirements. In addition, the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT ) recognizes the Biotechnology Technician – Industrial Microbiology program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Technician category.
