GMP Online Course contents

Typically delegates do all three CORE chapters and any ADDITIONAL chapters that are relevant to their role. For example, a person working in the Packaging department will undertake Chapters 1 to 3 and Chapter 6. The duration of each chapter lasts approximately 10 – 15 minutes. The standard 4 chapter course should last about an hour.

Assessment and certificates:

Each chapter has a series of randomly selected assessment quiz questions at the end of each one. An 80% pass mark is expected. Guidance is provided if a delegate gets an answer wrong. After successful completion of the course, a certificate is available for download by the delegate.

ONLINE: Available Anytime Anywhere using a desktop pc, laptop, tablet and most smartphones.
