Method Validation Masterclass
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into non-conformance management, sample handling and chain of custody and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 9001. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence. Delegates leave able to work confidently with corrective and preventive action, internal auditing and quality management systems in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where corrective and preventive action is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against ISO 9001
- Improve internal auditing within their own organisation
- Review quality management systems and say plainly whether it is working
- Put technical record keeping on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
