Course Overview

 

A GMP environment is highly regulated and compliance driven, however mistakes do happen! Even in a regulated environment such as pharmaceutical manufacturing with well written SOPs, human errors and mistakes will occur. Over time this can be incredibly costly to your business.

 

This training course on behavioural GMP will teach you strategies, tools and techniques to identify, manage and mitigate errors. It will also support leaders in developing their skills in motivating and driving a cultural change to ensure a more efficient and cost-effective approach to GMP.

 

With the Educo Post Learning Implementation Plan (PLIP) you will have the framework to apply and implement the knowledge acquired in the training, supporting you in your development. Learn more about how we deliver live online training.
