Pharmaceutical Qualified Person Training
Since 1990, our Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) approved QP training program has enabled quality professionals from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Malta, Denmark, Belgium, Jordan and numerous other countries to become practicing QPs.
We have built a comprehensive overview and Q&A that answers many of the most frequently asked questions, and we have been asked many questions since we started training QPs in 1990. Get your questions answered, and learn about our free QP seminars to help you decide on your path to becoming a Qualified Person.
We've partnered with The University of Strathclyde to offer a postgraduate qualification in Pharmaceutical Quality & Good Manufacturing Practice. This is available to individuals who are already enrolled in the NSF-Health Sciences Qualified Person Training Programme.
