Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Training

WHY IS GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) TRAINING IMPORTANT?

Any organization conducting a non-clinical study is required to follow good laboratory practices, which help assure regulatory authorities that the data submitted is a true reflection of the results obtained during the study and can therefore be relied upon when making risk/safety assessments. GLP training is important so your organization can implement GLP and produce reliable data that complies with regulatory agencies' good laboratory practice guidelines, specifications, and regulations.

As the leader in continuing education and accredited technical training, The Center for Professional Advancement (CfPA) offers the most state-of-the-art, cutting-edge GLP training available. Our comprehensive curriculum of online and public courses run one- to five- days in length and include discussions, case studies, and group problem-solving exercises which are taught by top industry leaders who share their knowledge in an enthusiastic, interactive manner.

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Highlights

WHAT ARE GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICES (GLP)?

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) generally refers to a system of management controls for laboratories and research organizations to ensure the consistency and reliability of results as outlined in the OECD Principles of GLP and other national regulations.

Good Laboratory Practice is a quality system and the manner in which non-clinical safety studies are: Planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived.

Learn the good laboratory practice regulations by taking CfPA's in-demand Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) course. This GLP training course will concentrate on OECD good laboratory practice guidelines and their application in member countries.

WHAT ARE SOME GLP TRAINING COURSES OFFERED BY CfPA?

The following GLP training courses are offered by CfPA:

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) - The main intent of this course is to review the requirements imposed by Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) regulations for facilities engaged in toxicology and product safety testing, primarily in animals and biological test systems.
GLP and Quality Assurance: Developing a GLP Compliant QA Program - This 2-day intensive course will explore the activities of a Quality Assurance department when auditing or inspecting studies and facilities for GLP compliance.
GLP Study Director - This course is designed for those who already have some experience in managing GLP studies; those who wish to extend their role to study direction and their competence in study management, particularly in the complex multi-site environment.

WHO IS INVOLVED IN GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP)?

Personnel involved in good laboratory practice:

Sponsor - Organization commissioning and submitting GLP work
Management - Responsible for providing adequate resources to run GLP studies and designates a study director prior to study initiation and replace, if necessary
Study Director - The single point of study control-takes responsibility for the overall conduct of the study and its final report
Study Personnel - Follow protocols, SOPs, analytical methods
Principal Investigator - Responsible for test site supervision
Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) - The means management uses to assure regulatory agencies that the work was conducted and reported according to good laboratory practice regulations

The current regulatory environment imposes far reaching responsibilities on Study Directors and Principal Investigators in preclinical regulatory R&D. CfPA's dynamic new course, GLP Study Director focuses on the GLP regulations of the FDA and OECD.

WHO NEEDS GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) TRAINING?

Good Laboratory Practices are required for all laboratory and field studies intended to assess the safety of the following:

Drugs & medical devices - human & veterinary
Pesticides - fungicides, herbicides (weedkillers), insecticides, etc.
Chemicals - dyes, photocopier toners, detergents, adhesives etc.
Biologicals - antibiotics, hormones, transplants

Other 'Good Practice' systems, aimed at providing reliable and quality work exist: Good Clinical Practices (GCP) for hospitals and clinicians conducting clinical studies on new drugs in humans; Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of pharmaceutical products; and Good Distribution Practices (GDP) for wholesalers and distributors.

Collectively these 'Good Practice' requirements are referred to as GxP requirements, and all follow similar philosophies.
