Course Overview

Operators are at the sharp end of pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging. and their understanding of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is critical to maintaining product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.

This half-day GMP Training for Operators course provides a practical, straightforward introduction to GMP. It’s aimed at new starters as well as existing staff who need a refresher, helping them understand what GMP means in their role, why it matters, and what’s at stake when things go wrong.
