Effective Annual U.S. FDA CGMP Training

Why Should You Attend:

The majority of U.S.-regulated companies have an annual CGMP training program. Many are inadequate. Some are taught by HR personnel unfamiliar with the CFR requirements. Should consultants be involved, and if so, how can they be best utilized, i.e., get rid of their formulaic approaches. How can a company compliant with the U.S. FDA’s QS Regulation, 21 CFR 820 (or 210, 211, et al) develop an effective training program? Inclusion of defect recognition. What are appropriate refresher subjects for inclusion? Different intervals to assure “annual” compliance. You will be helped to see how to develop, maintain and improve on a compliant CGMP Employee Training Program for their particular company, product line, and culture.
