Course overview

This intensive two-day Training Skills and Processes in Pharma Training Course will enable you to understand how to train others effectively through interactive discussions, exercises and practical examples.

Training can play an important role in the success of a company and in employee performance, with effective training and support helping with higher productivity and resulting in lower staff turnover. There is also increasing scrutiny by regulatory inspectors to assess compliance with training and related documentation. Lack of or inadequate, formal processes and procedures for training and poor training documentation are among the top inspection findings.

Using a proven and best practice framework for training, this programme will equip you with greater confidence, skills, techniques and knowledge to design, deliver both virtual and face-to-face training, evaluate and identify training needs and implement a successful training strategy in your role, as well as ensuring regulatory compliance.

This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.

Who should attend?

This training course is designed for all those who have responsibilities for planning, organising or delivering training within the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device or animal health industries. It will be ideal for those who need to carry out some training as part of their role, those new to a training role, and those who may wish to refresh and develop their existing skills including virtual training.

Benefits of attending

Build your expertise in planning, designing, and delivering training sessions
Learn how to carry out training needs analysis, how to develop a training strategy and maintain documentation for regulatory compliance

I was hoping to get some new updates / ideas on how to develop the current training programmes I am conducting and thus help me develop as a trainer and yes, that was accomplished.

I found this course very ideal for me, it came to a size of a smaller group. The content was clear and helpful for reference, and the hotel venue was convenient and accessible.

The course and content was really good, and gave the delegates a lot of useful techniques & tips to help trainers to make Improvements back in their workplace. This was a full course and paced well to enable delegates to grasp the concept and apply learned techniques.
