    What Is Quality by Design and Why It Matters for Pharma TeamsBuilt on the ICH Quality Guidelines

    The Quality by Design (QbD) Training in Norway is a one-day, practical programme that teaches pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical professionals how to build quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. It is grounded in the ICH quality guidelines, Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, Q9 Quality Risk Management, Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System and Q11 for drug substances, which underpin what regulators such as the FDA and EMA now expect in development and manufacturing submissions. You learn to apply the full QbD toolkit, from the Quality Target Product Profile and critical quality attributes through risk assessment, design of experiments, the design space and process analytical technology to a robust control strategy, with hands-on exercises drawn from realistic development scenarios. Ideal for formulation and analytical scientists, process development engineers, and quality and regulatory professionals at Norway's pharma, biopharma and API sites, the training builds skills you can apply straight away. Start your QbD journey with Invensis Learning.

    Skills You Will Build in This QbD TrainingThe Full QbD Toolkit in Practice

    Here is what you will learn in the Quality by Design Training: how to apply the ICH-based QbD framework and its core tools across pharmaceutical product and process development. By the end, you can build quality into a product from the design stage and support it through to manufacturing.

    Apply the ICH QbD Framework

    Understand how ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 shape modern pharmaceutical development, and why regulators such as the FDA and EMA expect quality to be built in from the design stage.

    Build a Quality Target Product Profile

    Construct a QTPP from patient and clinical needs that sets the design specification for the whole development programme and links quality to intended clinical use.

    Identify Critical Quality Attributes

    Identify and classify the CQAs that must stay within limits to ensure product safety, efficacy and quality, for both small molecules and biologics.

    Run QbD Risk Assessments

    Use Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA with risk priority numbers to link material attributes and process parameters to CQAs and prioritise the critical few for study.

    Design Experiments and the Design Space

    Plan design of experiments (DoE) to quantify how parameters affect quality, then define the design space, normal operating ranges and proven acceptable ranges.

    Apply Process Analytical Technology

    Use PAT tools such as NIR and Raman spectroscopy to monitor and control critical attributes in real time during manufacturing rather than only testing at the end.

    Develop a Robust Control Strategy

    Turn risk assessment and DoE results into a control strategy spanning material, process and in-process controls that holds quality within the design space.

    Structure QbD for Submissions

    Organise QbD evidence for regulatory submissions and apply it across the product lifecycle, from development through to post-approval change management.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    Learning is applied rather than examined. You work through practical exercises such as building a QTPP, identifying critical quality attributes, running risk assessments and interpreting a design space, using realistic development scenarios.

    Will I be able to use QbD at work straight away?

    Yes. After the training you can construct QTPPs, lead CQA identification workshops, facilitate Ishikawa and FMEA risk assessments, plan and interpret DoE studies, define design spaces and develop control strategies for your projects.

    Is prior QbD knowledge required for the course?

    No. The course introduces QbD from first principles in a pharmaceutical development context, so you do not need previous QbD experience to follow and apply the material.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QbD training cover?

    The programme covers six areas: QbD principles and the ICH framework; QTPP and critical quality attributes; risk assessment; design of experiments and the design space; process analytical technology and the control strategy; and QbD in practice through case studies, submissions and lifecycle management.

    Does the course cover both small molecules and biologics?

    Yes. The training includes case examples for small molecule drug products such as tablets and injectables, and for biologics such as monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars, so it fits a range of development work.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the training?

    Yes. Hands-on exercises run throughout the day, including QTPP construction, CQA identification and criticality assessment, Ishikawa and FMEA risk assessment, DoE design selection and design-space interpretation using realistic scenarios.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive ICH-aligned courseware, worked case studies, tool templates and exercise materials that support each QbD module. These help you apply the methods to your own products and processes after the course.
