The training is therefore not only aimed at employees in the Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management departments, but also explicitly at developers (architects, programmers, engineers, testers) as well as usability and requirements engineers. Employees who are responsible for project and process management are also part of the target group.
After successfully passing the exam, participants receive a certificate and a detailed assessment of their performance, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement. This enables companies to meet the requirements of the FDA, among others, for employee qualification and continuous knowledge ‘refresher’ training.
We currently offer the training programme as a closed beta programme to a limited number of companies. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about InhouseExcellence.
