    What Is Quality by Design Training?Your Route to Science-Based Development

    Quality by Design Training in Sweden introduces the Quality by Design (QbD) approach: a systematic, science-based way to build quality into pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. The one-day course is a practical, non-certification programme with no examination, and you leave with tools you can apply to live development projects. The training is grounded in the ICH guidelines that regulators now expect: ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, Q9 Quality Risk Management, Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System and Q11 for drug substances. You learn to define the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), identify critical quality attributes, run risk assessments, apply design of experiments, set a design space and build a control strategy that stands up to FDA and EMA review. For scientists and engineers across Sweden's pharma clusters, from Gothenburg and Sodertalje to Uppsala, Solna and Lund, QbD fluency is becoming a core expectation. Start building it with Invensis Learning.
