What Is Quality by Design and What Will You Gain?Build Quality in from the Design Stage

The Quality by Design Training (QbD) is a one-day, non-certification skills programme that teaches pharmaceutical teams how to build quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. Delivered across Kenya as instructor-led Quality by Design Training, it grounds every method in the ICH guidelines that the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and global authorities now expect.

QbD replaces trial-and-error development with a structured, science-based approach. You learn to define the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), identify Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), link them to material and process parameters through risk assessment, use Design of Experiments (DoE) to map the design space, and set a control strategy that holds production within it. The method is set out in ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 and is expected by regulators including the FDA and EMA.

For formulation, analytical, QC, process and regulatory professionals in Kenya's fast-growing pharmaceutical sector, these are the skills that turn local production into export-ready, submission-ready quality. Begin building QbD capability with Invensis Learning.

Market Forces Driving Demand for QbD Skills in Kenya

The Local Manufacturing Gap

Local firms still supply only 20 to 30 percent of Kenya's medicines against a 50 percent national target, so manufacturers need robust, right-first-time development to scale up safely.

QbD helps teams scale output without quality slips

Heavy Reliance on Imported APIs

Most Kenyan makers depend on active ingredients imported from India and China. Understanding critical material attributes helps teams control incoming variability and protect product quality.

QbD builds critical material attribute control

Rising GMP and WHO Expectations

The Pharmacy and Poisons Board has aligned its GMP framework to WHO standards. QbD gives teams the process understanding that modern inspections and prequalification now require.

QbD delivers the process understanding inspections demand

ICH-Aligned Submissions

PPB registration guidance follows ICH requirements. Building QTPP, design space and control strategy evidence turns everyday development work into stronger, submission-ready dossiers.

QbD turns development work into stronger dossiers

Export Competitiveness

To compete regionally and reach stringent markets, Kenyan producers must prove consistent quality. Design-stage quality reduces batch failures and costly post-approval changes.

QbD reduces batch failures and post-approval changes

A Widening Skills Gap

Kenya's deep pharmacy talent pool is thin on structured QbD and DoE practice. Professionals who can lead risk assessment and design space work are increasingly sought after.

QbD makes structured practitioners stand out

Sources: Business Daily, Kenya Ministry of Health, Pharmacy and Poisons Board, WHO GMP guidelines (Kenya) 2026.

QbD is fast becoming the language of modern pharmaceutical quality. Build the skills Kenyan manufacturers and regulators now expect, and help your organisation produce quality by design. Start today.

Your Kenya QbD Transformation

Where Your Quality Practice Stands Today

The Shift QbD Delivers

Kenya's pharmaceutical sector is scaling up and raising its quality bar to meet WHO and PPB expectations. Employers increasingly separate teams that can design quality in from those that still test it in. Here is the shift this training delivers.

After Training

You hold in-demand QbD and DoE capability that Kenyan manufacturers actively seek

Today

You react to deviations and out-of-specification results after the fact

After Training

You build control strategies that keep production within a proven design space

Today

Regulatory feedback often means rework and delay

After Training

You prepare stronger, ICH-aligned submissions that move through review more smoothly

You build QbD capability

Before

Quality is checked at the end through final testing, and failures are caught late

Now you have

Quality is designed in from the QTPP stage, so problems are prevented, not detected

Before

Development runs on trial and error and one-factor-at-a-time testing

Now you have

You use structured DoE to map the design space and understand your process

Before

Risk is judged informally with little documented rationale

Now you have

You run Ishikawa and FMEA risk assessment that stands up to inspection

Before

Submissions rely on empirical specifications alone

Now you have

You present QTPP, design space and control strategy evidence in ICH-aligned dossiers

"The gap between testing quality in and designing it in is now what separates strong pharmaceutical teams, and the manufacturers that matter already know it."

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Quality by Design is a systematic, science-based approach to pharmaceutical development that builds quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. It is defined by the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines and uses tools such as the QTPP, CQAs, risk assessment, DoE and the control strategy.

General

What is Quality by Design (QbD)?

Who should attend the Quality by Design Training in Kenya?

The training suits formulation scientists, analytical and QC scientists, process development engineers, quality assurance professionals and regulatory affairs specialists in pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, API and CDMO organisations across Kenya who want to apply QbD in product development and submissions.

Is the Quality by Design Training worth it?

Yes. QbD is increasingly expected by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, WHO and stringent regulators, so the ability to build quality in is a valued, in-demand skill in Kenya's growing pharmaceutical sector. You gain practical tools you can apply to live development projects immediately, with no exam required.

Do I need prior QbD knowledge to attend?

No. The course has no formal prerequisites and introduces QbD from first principles. Familiarity with pharmaceutical development or GMP is helpful but not required, making it suitable for professionals across development, quality and regulatory functions.

Which standards does the training follow?

The training is grounded in the ICH quality guidelines: ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, Q9 Quality Risk Management, Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System and Q11 for drug substances. These are the guidelines that define QbD and underpin modern regulatory submissions.

Pricing

How much does the Quality by Design Training cost in Kenya?

Fees vary by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate onsite), group size and schedule, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to individual or team training in Kenya.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically covers instructor-led training across all six QbD modules, hands-on tool exercises, course materials and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to confirm exactly what is included in your chosen format.

Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for pharmaceutical teams. It is ideal for training a cross-functional development team together on your own projects. Ask a learning advisor about group pricing.

How do I pay for the training?

We accept major cards and bank transfers, and corporate invoicing is available for organisations. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the payment option that suits you.

Assessment

Is there an exam for the Quality by Design Training?

No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on QbD tool exercises, pharmaceutical case studies and discussion, so you leave able to apply the methods rather than sit a test.

Do I receive a certificate after the training?

You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after completing the one-day programme. No formal credential is awarded by an external body, because QbD training is a practical skills course rather than a certification scheme.

How is learning assessed?

Learning is reinforced through practical exercises rather than a formal assessment. You practise QTPP construction, CQA identification, Ishikawa and FMEA risk assessment, and design space interpretation on realistic scenarios throughout the day.

Is QbD a certification?

No. Quality by Design is a methodology, not a certification. This course builds the practical skills to apply QbD; it does not lead to an exam or an accredited credential, so you can focus entirely on capability you can use at work.

Will this help with regulatory submissions?

Yes. You learn to structure QbD evidence (the QTPP, CQAs, risk assessment, design space and control strategy) in the ICH-aligned format that regulators such as the Pharmacy and Poisons Board expect in development and CMC submissions.

Course Content

What will I learn in the Quality by Design Training?

You will learn to apply the full QbD toolkit: defining the QTPP, identifying Critical Quality Attributes, running risk assessment with Ishikawa and FMEA, designing and interpreting DoE studies, defining the design space, using PAT, and building a control strategy for ICH-aligned submissions.

How long is the course?

The programme runs for one day (8 hours), and is also available as two half-days totalling 8 hours. It covers all six QbD modules with concept explanation, regulatory context and hands-on tool exercises using realistic pharmaceutical development scenarios.

Does it cover both small molecules and biologics?

Yes. The training covers QbD for both small molecule drug products such as tablets and injectables and biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies, with case study examples from both to show how the tools apply across product types.

Are DoE and the design space covered practically?

Yes. You work through DoE design selection, model interpretation and design space definition, including Normal Operating Ranges and Proven Acceptable Ranges, using realistic scenarios so you can plan and read DoE studies at work.

What materials are provided?

You receive structured course materials and work through hands-on exercises covering QTPP construction, CQA and criticality assessment, risk assessment and design space interpretation, all applied to realistic pharmaceutical development cases.
