Description: The Computer System Validation (CSV) Professional Certification Program will describe how to implement compliance systems in a cloud environment to meet FDA and European regulatory requirements. We will outline from a technical perspective the cloud and the different service models available. The different deployment models and their considerations for implementation in a GMP environment. The compliance challenges related to security, data integrity, visibility and control, and the risk mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate risk associated to security, data integrity and control. This program has been created for those interested in learning more about managing and ensuring integrity of e-records within a regulated environment. If you would like to expand your knowledge of e-record integrity but find it difficult to move forward in the process, this program is the perfect starting point. The training will bring you up to speed with the world of e-record data integrity very quickly by first explaining the basics of what is involved. The purpose of this section is to provide an easy launchpad to allow learners to search for more detailed information when it is needed. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to understand the importance of computer system validation (CSV), the regulations and standards behind CSV, recommendations and best practices for CSV, understand the role of GAMP®5 (GAMP5), and the competence required for a validation team. Additionally, students will understand the waterfall and agile approach to development, design, validation and verification, the difference between commercial and in-house software, support processes, change management, and the pharmaceutical quality system (PQS), formerly called quality management system (QMS). Whether a company is developing a system from scratch or purchasing a system, requirements need to be defined. That should be obvious when developing software, but maybe not so much if purchasing software. Consider buying a pre-built house or condominium. You're not going to take the first one you walk up to just because it's available. You're going to, at least at some level, establish your requirements. In this program we will discuss software in the same manner, and assist students with determining what their intended use is for the software. Risk, risk-based approach, risk-based decisions, and on and on. Clearly, expectations are to consider risk. But what does that mean? What does taking a "risk-based approach" to validation mean? In essence, the degree to which a computerized system is validated, and the level of controls implemented is based on risk. Are the risks associated with the application sufficiently controlled to minimize the effects? In this program we will cover in a clear concise manner how risk applies to the CSV projects. There is a section of this program geared specifically towards those individuals that will perform computer system validation. A certain understanding of software is important to be proficient in CSV, but we've tried to provide sufficient information for folks with non-software backgrounds to jump into the CSV fray. Those in management positions with responsibility for validating computer systems should also find great benefit in this program. In additional sections, we will concentrate on the Master Validation Plan (MVP) and explain how this is such an important aspect of the entire CSV lifecycle. See the individual courses below for descriptions and outlines. Computer System Validation (CSV) Professional Certification Program includes these 15 individual courses:
Additional Information:Certification Requirements: Students must view the entire program and successfully pass an online, multiple-choice final assessment for each course within a 12-month period. Certificate of completion is accessible in PDF format immediately after satisfying the requirements. Biopharma Institute certificates and digital badges include the date of completion, but do not have an expiration date. However, compliance training is typically considered valid for a period of 3 years. Many organizations suggest that compliance training should be refreshed at least every three years to stay up to date with regulations, standards, guidelines, and to reinforce the importance of maintaining compliance. The validity or recertification period for employee compliance training would be determined by those responsible for managing quality within the company. Biopharma Institute's online training courses include immediate access after enrollment. Username, password, and instructions are emailed to the student following enrollment into any program or course. Students may attempt the final assessments any number of times, as needed, to achieve a passing score. Once all training requirements have been satisfied a professional certification has been achieved and can be verified immediately from our website using a unique ID code located on the certificate. The professional certificate of completion is also instantaneously launched and made available to the student in a PDF format. Additionally, once the student has completed the professional certification program, a digital badge is issued. The digital badge documents all the courses taken and completed within the program, to further validate the student's achievement. Digital badges can be displayed on social networking sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Badgr, and others, to display accomplishments.
