Building GMP Excellence: A Guide to Implementing Compliant Training Programs
Learn the elements of a compliant GMP training program, how to measure training effectiveness, and how to tell when training is really the cause of human error deviations.

Overview
Human error is often blamed on weak training, yet training is not responsible for most human error deviations. This 90-minute GMP training program webinar explains how to build a program that is effective and can be ruled out as a root cause.
You'll review what GMP regulations and agencies expect from a training program and the elements needed when implementing or improving one, including curricula, training management systems and training effectiveness.
The session covers requirements for new and transferred employees and external service providers, skills qualification through on-the-job training, assessment, retraining, instructor qualifications, documentation and reviewing how well the training system works.
Why attend: When a deviation is traced to human error, regulators expect you to show whether training played a part. A well-designed, documented training program lets you answer that question with confidence. This session suits training managers and coordinators, operations, manufacturing and plant engineering staff, QA/QC, process improvement professionals, industrial engineers, compliance and regulatory affairs professionals, legal counsel and executive management.
