Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system that consists of processes, procedures and documentation that ensures manufacturing products, such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical goods, are consistently produced and controlled according to set quality standards.  

This interactive and engaging course will provide you with an overview of GMP guidance, and upon completion you will have a clear understanding of the history of GMP, the relevant guidance, trends and recent findings, data integrity and the documentation involved.
