How to create an effective and GMP compliant Training Program and reduce Training related human errors

Training programs have evolved. Human reliability or human error is usually attributed to training effectiveness or training program weaknesses/strengths. Even though the training is considered the “vaccine for mistakes,” training is not responsible for most human error deviations. To ensure training programs are effective and can be ruled out as a root cause for human error deviations, we will discuss the elements necessary when implementing/improving a training program. We will discuss aspects of the training programs like curricula, training management systems, training effectiveness, and other essential elements of a compliant training program.
