Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Training

WHY IS GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (GMP) TRAINING IMPORTANT?

Regulatory agencies are legally entitled to conduct unannounced inspections if they believe there are suitable grounds for doing so. These regulatory agencies include many European national organizations and the U.S. FDA. GMP Training, therefore, is important so your organization can comply with industry and government good manufacturing practices, 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 GMP training available. Our comprehensive curriculum of online and public GMP training courses run one- to five- days in length and include discussions, case studies, and group exercises which are taught by top industry leaders who share their knowledge in an enthusiastic, interactive manner.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Highlights

WHAT ARE GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (GMP)?

Good Manufacturing Practices are a set of regulations, codes, and guidelines for the manufacture of:

Drug substances and drug products
Medical devices
In vivo and in vitro diagnostic products
Foods

The term "cGMP" is used by the federal government as current good manufacturing practices. By definition, "cGMP" indicates that the current GMP - which is "state of the art" - can change. "GMP" and "cGMP" are often used interchangeably and essentially they have the same meaning.
