Good Practice Training

What the buyer is asking for

APHA requires a supplier to deliver a range of Good Practice training via interactive workshops, where participants are active in both discussion and practice of the techniques/skills that are being explored. The inclusion of examples/scenarios are also requested to make learning as ‘real life’ as possible. Our evaluation of training has shown that our learners respond better to this blended approach. Training courses are to be tailored to animal health and animal scientist research and product needs, with the course content being designed to be relevant to these specific areas of work. All APHA attendees will require a certificate of attendance following the completion of each course. This requirement will need to be in place by December 2026. The tender will include two distinct, but related Lots concerning GxP Quality Training Courses, Lot 1 – GLP and GCPv Training Courses Lot 2 – GMP and GDP Training Courses Training courses required are: • Introduction to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) • GLP Refresher • GLP Outline for Test Facility Managers • GLP Update for Study Directors and Principal Investigators • GLP Refresher Training – Archivist • Good Clinical Practice veterinary (GCPv) Refresher • Introduction to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) • GMP Refresher • Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Refresher
