DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Computer System Validation Boot Camp” training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Boot camp is tough and challenging. It is a three-day complete immersion in the validation process. Participants will work in focused teams to complete hands-on validation activities through instruction, exercises, and case scenarios. The course moves quickly and participants will change gears often to keep interest high and accommodate multiple learning styles. A balance of instructor lectures, reading materials, exercises and case studies keeps energy levels high and challenges the participants.

Learning Objectives

  • Understanding of how to comply with key FDA and international CSV regulations and guidance, such as 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11
  • The purpose of each validation deliverable and hands-on practice creating each deliverable, including the Validation Plan, Requirements Specification, Test Plan, Validation Tests (IQ, OQ, PQ), Trace Matrix, Test Summary, and Validation Report
  • Comprehension of risk-based validation techniques and how to leverage these techniques to create efficient yet compliant validation approaches
  • Appropriate validation strategies for many types of applications, including Cloud/SaaS, COTS, spreadsheets, and custom-developed systems
  • Awareness of best-practices and inspector expectations for computer system validation and software quality assurance (SQA) programs

Why Should You Attend:

We have used our real-world experience to design a computer system validation course that not only meets FDA, ICH, and Eudralex expectations for risk-based validation but also prepares you to implement these practices in your company. The standard operating procedures and validation templates used in class have already been proven at other companies.

We are focused on your comprehension and application of the CSV techniques that will result in efficient, effective, and inspection-ready validation initiatives
