    What Is Quality by Design and Why It Matters to Slovenian PharmaA Practical, Science-Based Approach

    Quality by Design (QbD) Training in Slovenia is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you to build quality into pharmaceutical products from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. You learn the systematic, science-based approach that the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines set out and that regulators such as the FDA and EMA now expect in modern development submissions. Across the day you work through the full QbD toolkit: defining the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), identifying Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), linking them to material attributes and process parameters through risk assessment, exploring the design space with Design of Experiments (DoE), and building a robust Control Strategy supported by Process Analytical Technology (PAT). Hands-on exercises use realistic pharmaceutical scenarios so the concepts translate straight to your projects. The course suits formulation scientists, process development engineers, analytical scientists, quality assurance staff and regulatory affairs professionals across Slovenia's pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, API and CDMO organisations. There is no examination; on completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and skills you can apply immediately.

    What You Gain from QbD TrainingSkills That Deliver at Work

    Where QbD Skills Take Your CareerRoles and Demand in Slovenian Pharma

    Quality by Design skills are increasingly valued across Slovenia, home to one of Europe's most concentrated pharmaceutical clusters. Krka in Novo Mesto, Lek in Ljubljana and Novartis and Sandoz operations anchor a sector that employs around 13,500 people and pays the highest average wage of any industry in the country. With Sandoz building a major biosimilar site near Ljubljana and Novartis expanding cell and gene therapy in Menges, demand for professionals who can design quality into products is rising. Quality by Design training helps professionals meet that demand, and here is what the market is telling us right now.

    The Market Forces Making QbD Skills Essential in Slovenia

    QbD is more than a framework. It is the skill set that lets pharmaceutical teams design quality into products and satisfy modern regulators. Join professionals across Slovenia who are building process understanding that pays off. Start your journey today.

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination, so there is no separate exam fee. The programme fee covers the training, materials and your course completion record. Request a quote for the full breakdown.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. QbD training is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on tool exercises, pharmaceutical case study examples and team discussion across the one-day programme rather than a formal test.

    What do I receive on completion?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It confirms you have completed the programme and built practical QbD skills that you can apply immediately to product and process development projects.

    How is learning reinforced during the training?

    Learning is reinforced through practical exercises applying QbD tools to realistic scenarios: constructing a QTPP, identifying CQAs, building Ishikawa diagrams, selecting DoE designs and interpreting a design space. These activities help you apply the concepts with confidence at work.

    Will this course prepare me for a credential?

    This is a skills-building course rather than a credential programme, so it does not lead to a formal qualification or awarding body assessment. It focuses on practical capability you can use straight away in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing roles.

    Can I apply these skills without a science degree?

    The tools are most relevant to those working in pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical development, but there is no formal education requirement. The course introduces every concept from first principles, so motivated professionals across quality, regulatory and manufacturing roles can apply what they learn.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QbD training cover?

    The course covers six modules: QbD principles and the ICH framework; QTPP and CQAs; risk assessment; Design of Experiments and design space; Process Analytical Technology and control strategy; and QbD in practice through case studies, CTD submissions and lifecycle management.

    Does the course cover both small molecules and biologics?

    Yes. The training covers QbD principles for both small molecule drug products, such as tablets and injectables, and biopharmaceutical products, such as monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars, with case study examples from both, which is especially relevant to Slovenia's biosimilar sector.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. Hands-on QbD tool exercises run throughout the day, including QTPP construction, CQA identification and criticality assessment, Ishikawa diagrams for risk, DoE design selection and design space interpretation, all applied to realistic pharmaceutical development scenarios.

    How long is the training and what is the format?

    The programme is delivered in one day of eight hours, or as two half-days, covering all six QbD modules. It is available as live virtual, classroom and corporate onsite training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware covering the full QbD framework, worked pharmaceutical case study examples, and exercise materials for QTPP, CQA, risk assessment, DoE and control strategy. These reinforce the concepts and serve as a reference for your projects afterwards.
