Course Overview

 

CMC, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls is the term used to describe all the aspects of making pharmaceutical, biologic or cell & gene products. CMC activities begin from product inception and evolve through pre-clinical, clinical and finally marketing approval. Many elements make up CMC with the goal of producing a safe product that is compliant with regulatory requirements.

 

This training course has been designed to provide a complete overview of CMC development from early stages through to clinical trials and marketing approval. You will review key areas such as technology, GMP, process development, quality controls, product lifecycle and analytics. Once completed, you will have a holistic understanding of core CMC activities. This will give you the confidence to progress in your career or interact with CMC technical departments.

 

The course is ideal for those working in CMC related departments, professionals looking to advance their career in CMC and those who regularly interact with CMC departments.

 

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.
