GMP Training online

Online training has long been established in the pharmaceutical industry. However, when it comes to online GMP training, there are often fears that the content will remain superficial or that the training will degenerate into a compulsory event. Yet the digital format in particular offers enormous potential – if it is used correctly. In this article, we take a look at how online-based GMP training can develop real relevance.

Anyone who has ever clicked through a standard e-learning course on GMP knows the problem: long texts, little reference to everyday life, hardly any interaction. Although the goal is achieved – content is formally conveyed – there is no lasting effect.

The problem is not the format, but the implementation. GMP training online offers the great opportunity to digitally map individual processes, real-life scenarios and relevant content – efficiently, accessibly and flexibly.

Digital GMP training doesn’t have to be dry or generic. At skillbest, we develop online training courses that are fully tailored to the company. Our learning content is based on the expertise of our customers and is therefore as close as possible to real-life situations.

This means:

• No interchangeable content
• No standard cases
• but concrete situations as they really happen in the company.

With the help of storytelling and interactive decision-making situations, online GMP training is transformed into a tool that not only informs, but also triggers thought processes and changes behavior.

A good example of this is our best practice for LIMS training in pharmaceutical quality control. The aim here was to train employees in data integrity, compliance and processes in dealing with the LIMS – a central system in the GMP context.

Instead of abstract theory, we developed an online training course that makes the real sources of error that can occur in the system visible in a targeted manner. In interactive modules, participants not only learn how to operate the system correctly, but also recognize the consequences of misconduct. And all of this online, accessible at any time and yet with maximum individuality.

If you would like to delve deeper, we recommend our two further articles:

• GMP Training Pharma: Effective learning – How e-learning anchors regulatory content with storytelling.
• GMP Compliance Training: Living digital standards – Why digital training contributes to a practiced compliance culture.

GMP training online can do much more than just fulfill the training obligation. It can be a tool that sustainably anchors content, activates employees and improves processes. Provided it is implemented individually, practically and interactively. This is precisely our approach at skillbest.
