Course Outline

Across the many diverse business functions within the pharmaceutical industry, the requirement to perform audits of key service and material suppliers has become a significant driver for regulatory compliance and corporate governance. A successful audit relies on both the technical ability and the soft skills of the auditor(s). This 6-day course is delivered in conjunction with The Compliance Group and covers many of the technical and non-technical aspects of pharmaceutical auditing and incorporates the skills needed for audits of GMP, GCP, GVP, GDP, and API. The final two days give attendees a chance to experience practical elements of on-site auditing.

Course Practicalities

The course is divided into one block of 4 days of lectures in UCC and 2 days of practical auditing experience in an auditing facility in Dublin. Delegates can choose to attend all six days or just particular days that are specific to their requirements. However, to attend the site visits on the final two days, it is necessary that delegates first complete days 1-4.
