Zielsetzung
QP Education Course
Broaden your knowledge of the Qualified Person’s duties and see and discuss which responsibilities and tasks are part of a QP’s daily life – besides batch certification. With fulfilling these tasks, the QP has a lot of interfaces and interactions. How this can be managed is a topic in Module B and its pre-course session on soft skills.
***************************
Pre-Course Session
The QP job requires interaction with others. It is so much more than sitting at the desk certifying batches. A QP is not expected to have all the necessary qualifications and experience from day one. But a QP needs to learn and grow in the role. Education and knowledge are important for fulfilling the tasks and responsibilities. Besides that, experience and leadership skills are important when it comes to interacting with colleagues, management, other departments and authorities. Leadership skills help the QP to function in teams and organisations as a whole.
Background
Over the last years the role and responsibilities of the Qualified Person have been increasing considerably. As a key person in the company, the QP has to consider many issues and has to take up the challenges within its areas of responsibilities. Additionally, as laid out in Article 49 of the European Directive 2001/83/EC, the QP needs to be highly qualified and experienced. EQPA’s education course modules will help the QP to be well prepared and to be on top of current developments in GMP and regulatory requirements.
