This training is of an advanced level. A basic level of GMP knowledge is required to attend this training. The training program is not designed to address the basic theoretical principles of GMP. The practical implication of the GMP principles, real-life cases and the role of the QP are the focus of this training. A Qualified Person is expected to be aware of a number of pre-approval elements: an overview of the product life-cycle, Toxicology and the Registration Dossier. The training is highly interactive. The program is offered as a combination of self-study, theory, and practical case studies. The self-study prior to the module consists of reading preparatory materials.
