SOP For GMP Training

SOP For GMP training is described in this post which you can follow in the section of the Quality Assurance Department.

OBJECTIVE
This procedure is established to provide guidelines for GMP training. The SOP is an overview of basic GMP concepts and emphasizes the importance of understanding and following government regulations. This SOP will give a good background to promote regulatory compliance and at the same on-the-job training.
SCOPE 
This SOP is applicable to all departments at plant. This SOP applies to the process of specifying, designing & generating training related good manufacturing practices.
RESPONSIBILITY
All HODs are responsible for the implementation of the SOP on GMP training.

CARRYING OUT GMP TRAINING
INHOUSE TRAINING
An in-house GMP training schedule will be developed by GMP training Incharge and the training sessions are to be conducted within a calendar year.
For GMP training, an appropriate expert/ trainer will be selected on a specific topic (in the light of experience, education & specialty of that trainer).
All the selected participants are informed through IOM having the information of the trainer’s name, topic of lecture, date, time & venue.
Attendance sheet containing names of all participants is to be circulated & all the participants must sign that sheet.
GMP training Incharge record all the courses conducted for GMP training.
Details must include:
Title of the GMP training
Date/s of training
Trainer’s name 
Names of employees attending training
Assessment  
results, where appropriate
Method of training should be by lecture (audio visual).
A proper record of the GMP training is to be kept in the specific training file.

TRAINING ASSESSMENT AND EFFECTIVENESS
Training effective evaluation should be done by the GMP training Incharge.
Where possible, some written / soft copy of training material may be given to the trainees for reference and guidance.
A written or oral test may be given with four weeks of training by the GMP training Incharge.
Designing assessments and documentation i.e. ensuring the content and level of assessment is linked to the training conducted; ensuring the assessment questions are appropriately worded.
Training report showing results of written / oral test, if conducted, to be prepared by the GMP training Incharge.
It is the responsibility of the GMP training Incharge to correctly record the assessment of a trainee.
The GMP training Incharge is responsible to maintain training records for QA.
The result of the test to be reported to each participant through the respective HOD.
TRAINING COORDINATION AND PROMOTION
It is the responsibility of the management to conduct GMP training in consultation with QA Manager & the 
GMP training Incharge. GMP training Incharge will be responsible for the promotion and awareness of the GMP training areas to the employees.
