Training for Investigators

Severity and impact of a Deviation/Discrepancy are frequently triggering an intensive Investigations which have to be performed by qualified, independent personnel, the Investigators. The different phases of the evaluation process and the tools to be used must be defined in writing, e.g. for Classification, Root Cause Analysis, planning of immediate measures and decision making.

The training aims to build the capabilities of investigators in order to conduct timely and effective investigations and to make them familiar with the regulatory expectations, their responsibilities and the process in detail.

Target Group:
Employees from the GMP regulated areas (manufacturing, QC, QA, tech. services) who will assume the Investigator’s role in future.
Participants need GMP knowledge in order to follow the training course.
