Five-Day Online Computer System Validation Professional Certificate Program (September 6-10, 2021)

Dublin, August 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The “Computer System Validation Boot Camp” training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.

A course designed to fully immerse you in computer system validation. This course provides an understanding of the regulations affecting your systems and hands-on practice in writing validation documents. You will leave ready to lead efficient, effective and inspection-ready validation projects.

The training camp is difficult and stimulating. This is a full five-day immersion in the validation process. Participants will work in focused teams to perform practical validation activities through instructions, exercises and case scenarios. The course progresses quickly and participants will change gears often to maintain a high interest and accommodate multiple learning styles. A balance of lectures, reading materials, exercises, and case studies keeps energy levels high and challenges participants.

Our training approach

We have designed a computer system validation course that not only meets the expectations of the FDA, ICH and Eudralex for risk-based validation, but also prepares you to implement these practices in your business. . Standard operating procedures and validation models used in the classroom have already proven their worth in other companies. We focus on your understanding and application of CSV techniques which will result in efficient, effective and inspection ready validation initiatives.

What you get

• Understanding of how the CSV process fits into your software lifecycle (SDLC or SALC) and the purpose of each validation deliverable
• Hands-on practice for creating key validation deliverables, including validation plans, requirement specifications, test plans, validation tests (IQ, OQ, PQ), trace matrices, test summaries, and validation reports
• Best practices for running validation tests, documenting, and handling errors
• Understanding of what the software requires and does not require validation
• Methodology and implementation model for a risk-based approach to CSV
• Details on how to leverage risk-based decision making in your software quality assurance procedures
• Understanding of the key components and principles of a software quality assurance (SQA) program and auditor’s expectations
• Understanding of major FDA and international CSV regulations and guidelines that apply to your business
• Current data and 9 years of trends on the most common FDA warnings for software validation and system quality
• BONUS: Course registration includes 23-hour instructor-led online training, electronic copy of course workbook, CSV exam, and CSV certification.
