Dublin, Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Computer System Validation Boot Camp" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
A course designed to completely immerse you in computer system validation. This course delivers comprehension of the regulations impacting your systems and hands-on practice writing validation documents. You will leave ready to lead efficient, effective, inspection-ready validation projects.
Boot camp is tough and challenging. It is a five-day complete immersion in the validation process. Participants will work in focused teams to complete hands-on validation activities through instruction, exercises, and case scenarios. The course moves quickly and participants will change gears often to keep interest high and accommodate multiple learning styles. A balance of instructor lectures, reading materials, exercises and case studies keeps energy levels high and challenges the participants.
Our Training Approach
We have designed a computer system validation course that not only meets FDA, ICH, and Eudralex expectations for risk-based validation but also prepares you to implement these practices in your company. The standard operating procedures and validation templates used in class have already been proven at other companies. We are focused on your comprehension and application of the CSV techniques that will result in efficient, effective, and inspection-ready validation initiatives.
