GMP and GDP Certification Programme

One reason for the ECA Academy’s excellent reputation is its high-quality Certification Programme. In the past years, thousands of GMP and GDP professionals already relied on the programme to advance their knowledge and to get an additional qualification - and completed the ECA Certification Level.

This comprehensive qualification curriculum comprises 15 programmes, allowing professionals to combine several seminars according to their fields of interest.

Attend Online Courses and Recordings for Certification

Many training courses are offered live online, and many are also offered on demand (recording of live online training courses). These online courses and recordings are both recognized for the ECA GMP/GDP Certification Programme as well!

Objectives

Highly qualified personnel is crucial within the field of GMP-compliant manufacturing of APIs and drugs. Although college and university education provide the scientific basis, a continuous advanced training is essential.

And this is where the ECA Academy GMP Certification Programme fills the gap. It offers modular training with an industry-known certification at the end. For most of the Certification Options (see list below) you will need to attend 3 training courses from a variety of events. You can:

select courses according to their individual professional demands
suit the course registration to your company's necessities,
i.e. usually there is a period of several months between the courses. If two dates are too close together, you can attend one course in the following years.

Recognition of the Certification Programme

The ECA Academy enjoys an excellent reputation within Europe's pharmaceutical industry. The Certification Programme represents a useful completion of your college and university education. The ECA Certification Programme is the largest programme of its kind in Europe.

Continuous GMP/GDP Certification – a service offered by the ECA Academy

In order to reflect the development of a continuous advanced education for GMP and GDP professionals the ECA Academy issues Certificates of the Certification Programme with a validity date. Every Certificate (see list of the Certificates below) will be valid for two years. To renew it the applicant has to join one at least 2-day ECA Training Course or Conference within that period. Applicants are quite flexible in selecting training courses or conferences for the renewal. For example, a Validation Training Course or one on OOS Results will also be recognised for the renewal of the ECA Certified QA Manager Certificate, although these courses are not specifically recognized for the QA Manager Certificate (the same applies to all other certificates). This flexibility takes into account that applicants will broaden their knowledge in GMP Compliance.

The renewal process is easy and is managed by the ECA Academy. You will automatically receive your certificate which contains the two years Certification statement every time you participate in an ECA Training Course or Conference.
