Scheduled In-house

GxP Training Courses

We offer a range of essential GxP (Good x Practice) compliance training courses across a variety of areas to ensure you comply with the regulations and quality guidelines.

GxP is a series of quality guidelines and regulations created to ensure that bio/pharmaceutical products that are consumed, or used by humans or animals are safe, meet their intended use, and adhere to quality processes during manufacturing, control, storage, and distribution.

GxP is an abbreviation of referencing the various ‘good practice’ regulations in the life sciences industry. G (Good) P (Practice) x (variable depending on the application) covers a wide range of processes used in development, manufacturing and distribution of regulated products, such as; Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) etc.

We provide GxP training for the pharmaceutical, medical device, animal health and cosmetics industries, covering, manufacture, laboratory, distribution and clinical good practices. Focused topics include Quality Management Systems, Packaging and Labelling, Computer System Validation and the role of the Qualifed Person and Responsible Person. Staying constantly up-to-date with changes in requirements can be challenging, so keep abreast of changes and their implications on good practices by attending our extensive training series.
