PCS Brings Its GMP Training to Belgium: Three Days of Hands-On Knowledge for Middle Management

For over 35 years, PCS Academy has been training professionals in the pharmaceutical industry. What started in 1991 has grown into a training programme that has educated more than 10,000 GxP professionals — with an average rating of 9.2. And now, we're bringing that expertise to Belgium.

The Training: GMP for Middle Management

On 15, 16, and 17 September 2026, we are organising our three-day training course GMP for Middle Management in the Pharmaceutical Industry at the Van der Valk Hotel Nijvel Zuid in Nivelles, Belgium. The training is delivered in English and is specifically designed for professionals who deal with GMP-related matters on a daily basis.

Middle management plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry. QA Officers, QC Managers, Production Pharmacists, and QPs — they are the ones who design, improve, and implement quality systems. Yet translating regulations into everyday practice is not always straightforward. That is exactly where this training makes the difference.

What Can You Expect?

The three days are structured around the core chapters of the European GMP guidelines, but with a practical approach. Topics covered include:

• Pharmaceutical Quality System — including change control, deviations, CAPAs, and risk management
• Personnel and quality culture — the role of human behaviour and the importance of training
• Premises and equipment — validation, calibration, and cleaning validation
• Documentation and data integrity — from Annex 11 to GDocP
• Production — Critical Process Parameters and Contamination Control Strategy
• Quality Control — OOS procedures, sampling, and reference samples
• Outsourced activities — supplier qualification and contract acceptor management
• Regulatory oversight — inspection by the authorities

In addition, there are interactive workshops on deviations, risk ranking, and a closing case study. The programme combines theory with hands-on exercises, so you can immediately apply what you learn.

What Sets This Training Apart

What distinguishes our GMP training is the combination of deep expertise and an interactive format. The group size is deliberately kept small — a maximum of 25 participants — to allow room for discussion, questions, and sharing experiences from your own organisation. Our trainers have extensive regulatory and operational experience, and the content is continuously updated to reflect the latest developments in legislation and guidelines.

Our participants notice the difference. Tamana, QA Officer, wrote: "Great way of transferring knowledge: clear presentations, room for discussion, and variety." And Santiago Parga, QA Documentation Specialist, highlights: "The most important insight I gained is the connection between quality culture and GMP."
