Laboratory Systems Validation Training Course

Expand All

Our fully interactive Laboratory Software Validation course provides attendees with the knowledge and skills they need to comply with European, US and Worldwide software validation requirements. The course is fully tutor-led and focuses on the practical implementation of software validation requirements, providing attendees with a well-thought-out approach and real-world implementation methodologies to help achieve compliance and assure consistency of performance of computerised systems. This course covers the validation of standalone software such as LIMS systems, statistical packages and databases as well software contained in laboratory equipment ranging in complexity from centrifuges to integrated HLPC systems.

The course also covers the latest FDA Requirements and Guidance on Electronic Records and Signatures (21 CFR Part 11) and Quality Risk Management as applied to Software Validation and Computer Systems Validation. The course involves practical group exercises which take the learner through the entire validation cycle with comprehensive feedback from the course tutor throughout.
