Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of ten principles intended to ensure the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies. These principles help define and standardise the organisational processes and conditions under which these studies can be performed, recorded, reported, and archived. 

This interactive and engaging course will provide you with an overview of GLP regulations and guidance and explore the principles of GLP in one session. Upon completion of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the importance of GLP regulations, their practical applications, and the responsibilities of those involved in using them. 

This course can be booked on an individual or group basis. If you are interested in training for you or your organisation, please contact training@towermains.com.

Testimonials

The Tower Mains GLP course should be set as the benchmark for GLP training. A really great course delivered in an engaging way – I’d be confident in working to a GLP standard in the future thanks to this course!”

“Easy to follow, very clear explained, entertaining, which is very helpful because the subject is sometimes heavy to digest.”

“I enjoyed the course immensely, the anecdotes made us laugh and helped make the content memorable. The experience and expertise of the presenters were clear and they promoted a friendly, open discussion where everyone was able to ask questions.”

“Great to have another experienced GLP/GCP professional with direct bioanalytical experience conduct the training. I think staff appreciate it more knowing the trainer has direct experience in what they do on a day-to-day basis. And great to have someone to ask specific questions to from a senior level! Very informative and gave a clear overview of GLP vs GCP.”
