Professional Conversion Programme (Full-Time)
The full-time professional conversion programme (PCP) provides re-skilling pathways for new entrants moving into technical roles across key areas such as Production, Engineering / Maintenance, Quality and Validation in the Pharmaceutical / Biologics Manufacturing industries.
Validation is the key verification process across all technical areas within a Pharmaceutical / Biologics Manufacturing Facility. It defines how the regulations which govern the manufacture of Pharmaceuticals / Biologics are applied and interpreted. A practical understanding of Validation is an essential requirement to assume technical roles in a Pharmaceuticals / Biologics Manufacturing Facility.
The Specialised Training Programmes in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (Validation) are designed to train candidates with a Science or Engineering background and who are coming from other industries such as Electronics, Infocommunications, Chemical, Food and Beverage and who are seeking entry through this Professional Conversion Programme to work in the Pharmaceutical / Biologics Manufacturing Industries.
Participants on the Professional Conversion Programme complete 6 Modules from the seven modules listed below comprising of Module 1, Module 2, Module 3a or 3b, Module 4, Module 5 and Module 6.
Module 1. Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technologies
Module 2. Commissioning & Qualification of Equipment and Systems
