our training programmes

Individualised training programmes

The training programmes are individualised and adapted to the expectations of learners, accompanying them throughout their learning process, and boosting their employability and integration into the professional bioproduction sector.

Immerscio.bio allows learners to take a training programme that is appropriate to their level, whether they are beginners, in the mid-range or experts.

Contents of a training programme

Each course consists of several interactive, immersive learning modules that meet specific educational goals. The modules are of different types: digital (e-learning, serious games or virtual reality) and practical (in virtual reality or on the sites of the various partners of Campus Biotech Digital).

Immerscio.bio offers learners the opportunity to personalise and adjust their learning according to their professional needs and objectives.

Range of training programmes on offer

Thirteen courses will be offered by Immerscio.bio to cover the entire spectrum of bioproduction and biotechnology professions, from designing the biomedicine to supplying it to the end client. Immerscio.bio runs training modules ranging from cell culture to purification and from the cold chain to quality control, together with new occupations such as data analyst.

These courses are adapted to the wide variety of learners: students, employees in vocational retraining, employees keen to improve their skills and job seekers.

Bioproduction Plant Environment

This course consists of seven online training modules (a serious game, virtual and augmented reality) and a final evaluation module on an on-site case study.

The aim of the first module is to understand the impact of bioproduction on biotherapy; the second to understand how to access an aseptic industrial environment; and the third to understand the behaviours to adopt in this environment. In the following module learners will have a virtual implementation. The next two modules, which are more technical, are based on data and digital technology. The last module is a practical simulation exercise on a technical platform for the final evaluation.

UpStream Process in cGMP (USP in cGMP)

This course consists of six online training modules (a serious game, virtual and augmented reality) and a final evaluation module on an on-site case study.

The aim of the first module is to understand the impact of bioproduction on biotherapy; the second to understand how USP processes and good practices related to the industrial environment are developed; and the third to understand the microbiological risks during the purification process. The following modules detail all the checks to be performed throughout the purification process, then the importance of noting and retaining the data. This is followed by the last module, which is a practical simulation exercise on the different technologies for developing the USP DownStream Process (DSP).

DSP

This course consists of eight online training modules (serious game, virtual and augmented reality) and a final evaluation module on an on-site case study.

The aim of the first module is to understand the impact of bioproduction on biotherapy; and the second to understand the position of DSP in the production value chain. The next two are more technical: on microbiological risks during the development process and technologies relating to process intensification. The following modules detail all the checks to be performed throughout the purification process, then the importance of noting and retaining the data, followed by the last module, which is a practical simulation exercise on the different technologies for developing the DSP process.

Fill & Finish

This course consists of 11 online training modules (serious game, virtual and augmented reality) and a final evaluation module on an on-site case study.

The aim of the first module is to understand the impact of bioproduction on biotherapy; the second to understand the criticality of raw materials on receipt, in particular frozen material; and the third to raise the learner’s awareness about the role of formulation, distribution and packaging. The following modules focus on isolator sampling; defrosting, pooling and filtration; on what a distribution line is and the key principles for maintaining aseptic conditions during the distribution of sterile products; the specific conditions for living organisms (cell therapies and viral vectors); and good practices for cleaning equipment and at-risk interventions on the distribution line. The last module is a simulation exercise on the various technologies used in the distribution and packaging process.

Quality Control (QC) in Microbiology

This curriculum consists of six online training modules (serious game, virtual and augmented reality) and a final evaluation module on an on-site case study.

In the first instance, learners will have an overview of the different types of quality control before learning about the importance of data integrity. The third module defines the three types of control (microbiology, physical chemistry, and viral and molecular biology), sources of contamination and product characteristics. The fourth module describes the deployment of these three types of test throughout the production value chain, while the fifth module specifies the organisation required for each type of test. The last module is a practical simulation exercise in a laboratory or on a production line.
