Cyanobacteria & Phytoplankton
Cyanobacteria are highly adaptive and opportunistic organisms that live in a wide variety of aquatic environments. They can have an extensive impact on waterbodies and some species even produce toxins. Other forms of algae (many of which pose no risk to humans or animals through exposure) can serve as indicators for the overall health of a waterbody. Generally, the more variety, the healthier the water.

Quality Assurance
Quality assurance makes business efficient and productive and gets customers coming back. Good quality assurance increases productivity, reduces costs, increases customer loyalty, ensures regulatory requirements, and finds root causes of problems to stop them from happening again.

Education for all
As part of JHC’s services, we offer web-based training courses that cover a wide variety of topics from basic microscopy and quality assurance training to advanced cyanobacteria and phytoplankton identification and analysis. These courses are completely self-paced and include email support and a training record for each unit completed. We are also capable of creating customised courses upon request. Check back in the future as more courses will become available over time.

Morning everyone. Here in Southeast Queensland, we are preparing for this system to cross the coast at Brisbane as a possible category 2 system. It’s very rare for a system to come this far south, but it does happen occasionally.
So, JHC will be closing its office from around Wednesday to prepare and will be working from home, depending on when and how quickly conditions deteriorate. I will still be available contactable as long as the power and telecommunications are operational.
Please, if you don’t have to be anywhere, stay home and off the roads. DO NOT drive through flooded roads or enter floodwaters to swim. Ensure loose items are secured around your home and your pets are safe.
Stay safe everyone!

Hi everyone! Welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year.
I just wanted to update you that there will be a couple of new courses being released and available through catalogue this week, and maybe even some value bundles! The cyanophyte courses are now all complete! I'll have to see how I go. Keep an eye on the catalogue, link below.
I have also started writing the first of the eukaryotic phytoplankton identification courses; Bacillariophytes (diatoms). As per the cyanophyte courses, they will be from a routine analysis perspective and the level of taxonomic identification will generally be to genus or higher, as in routine monitoring speciation isn't usually performed.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. It’s been an extremely busy year and I just wanted to thank all my clients for the opportunity to work with and provide training services.
I’ve been creating courses, and there are two that are complete, but I haven’t created their listing in the catalogue yet.
The first is Intermediate: Non-Heterocystous Filamentous Cyanophyta. Continuing the cyanobacterial identification courses for routine analysis.
The second is Foundation: Introduction to Phycology for Water Asset Management. Designed for the water industry to explain waterbodies as systems and their dynamics, phytoplankton bloom dynamics, mitigation, phytoplankton as a semi-quantitative trend analysis, the statistics used in ensuring quality, how to intetpret reported phytoplankton data and choosing sampling methods and sampling intervals.
In production at the moment is Intermediate: Colonial Cyanophyta which will complete the cyanophyte series. The aim is to have this course complete by December 13th.
JHC will be closed over the Christmas and New Year period; Friday December 13th to Monday January 13th.
Zoom training for blended delivery will begin for my current trainees around mid February and my training calendar will open to new bookings in early to mid March.
In the meantime the courses are still available for enrolment as standalone, self-paced programs.
In the new year, with the completion of the production of the cyanophyte course program, the self-paced and blended and some new bundled products are planned for release.
I want to wish you and your families a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year and hope 2025 is a happy and prosperous one.
