What You Will Learn?
You’ll begin with a solid introduction to Legionella bacteria – what it is, where it thrives, and why it poses a risk in water systems such as cooling towers, plumbing networks, and fountains. We’ll cover the control measures used to minimize risks, along with local and international regulatory requirements that guide water safety in the UAE. This foundation is essential for anyone considering a career in public health, microbiology, or environmental management.
Next, you’ll step into the field. This session teaches you how to conduct a professional on-site risk assessment, including site walkthroughs, hazard identification, and interviewing water hygiene teams. You’ll also learn about basic onsite testing techniques, giving you a firsthand look at how theory translates into practice.
In this lab-based module, you’ll gain practical skills in microbial inoculation, culturing, enumeration, and interpreting laboratory results. These microbiological techniques are highly valued by employers in the water safety and environmental testing sectors. By the end of the day, you’ll be confident in applying essential laboratory procedures used by professional microbiologists.
Modern water safety management uses advanced molecular methods. This day focuses on DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for Legionella detection. These are the same molecular biology skills used in diagnostic laboratories and research institutions around the world — skills that can give you a competitive edge for future roles or postgraduate study in the UAE and beyond.
Finally, you’ll learn how to transform your findings into clear, professional reports. We’ll cover risk assessment methodology, data compilation, and report preparation, enabling you to present your work to regulatory bodies, clients, or employers with confidence.
