CAPA

This 2½ day course provides intensive coverage of the elements of a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) system.

Objective
After completing the course, participants will understand the essentials of an effective CAPA system and understand what is required for compliance with the Quality System regulation. In addition, participants will come away from the course with the ability to implement a closed loop continuous improvement system. This course also includes a workshop on cause analysis and problem prevention, core skills that assist in properly identifying and documenting non-compliances (problems), and taking the necessary preventive action.

Who Should Attend?
Instruction is targeted to quality assurance personnel, regulatory affairs professionals, implementers of an organization's CAPA system, and management involved in review and oversight of the system. In 2006, FDA brought the course in-house to train Office of Compliance employees.

Format
This course relies on a highly interactive format incorporating case studies and analysis of specific situations taken from Warning Letters. Tools of industry "best practices" are included to improve effectiveness for implementation.
