GDP Basic – management team

Learn the basics of GDP (Good Distribution Practice) with our interactive e-learning course - when it suits You and Your training plan!

Use the course as an introduction to GDP if You are new in Your role, or as an annual GDP refresher to ensure Your knowledge compliance according to authority requirements.

Target group

For You affected by GDP in Your role within the management of, for example, a pharmaceutical company. As part of the company management, You have a central role in ensuring an effective quality system by following quality parameters such as deviations, changes and inspections, and ensuring that sufficient resources are allocated and that the staff has sufficient competence. The course is perfect if You are new in Your role or if You need an annual refresher training on a basic level.

Not in the target group?
If You are affected by GDP in Your role within Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, Medical Information, Supply Chain or Marketing at a pharmaceutical or wholesaler company, we recommend that You take the web course GDP Basic.

If You are involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing, we recommend that You take the adapted GDP Basic – manufacturing.

If You work within transport of pharmaceuticals, for example as a driver, we recommend our web course GDP Basic – transport.

These four courses are built around the same content and follow the very same structure. If You have several roles within the company, You only need one of the above courses. If You are unsure of which one to choose, please contact us for advice!
