The first course took place in Amsterdam, with 18 participants achieving full GDP Compliance accreditation from the WCA Pharma Academy, the training branch of WCA Pharma, a specialty network of WCA.
WCA Pharma members are required to be GDP compliant to maintain their group membership, which is a quality assurance that pharmaceutical products are stored, transported, and handled under suitable conditions.
“GDP courses are part of WCA’s Academy programme, which was launched to help promote continued learning for those who want to sharpen their professional skills and logistics operations,” commented Leah McKenna, Manager, WCA Academy.
The course involves all participants being tested on GDP Compliance prior to the training and sitting an examination at the end of the programme, with GDP knowledge improving by up to 30% following the course.
Out of the 18 participants on the course, nine received a score of 95% or higher.
