Deviation Management in GMP Environments
Every deviation is your quality system telling you something. This course teaches you to hear it, record it, investigate it properly, and close it in a way that holds up in front of an inspector.

- Narrated from beginning to end. Every topic carries a spoken track, so the course works at a desk, in a car, or during a shift change.
- Written against the clause. Regulatory statements are traced to EU GMP, ICH or the relevant guideline, with the clause number in the reference section.
- Checked as you go. A knowledge check after every lesson, a final assessment across the course, and a dated certificate in your name on passing.
Why this course
Most deviation training explains the paperwork. This one explains the judgement.
You will learn how to decide, in the moment, whether what just happened on the line is a deviation at all, how to describe it so that somebody who was not there can understand it a year later, how to classify it by risk rather than by habit, and how to reach a root cause you can actually defend.
This course is written for sites that operate under EU GMP (EudraLex Volume 4). The requirements are drawn from that framework throughout: EU GMP Chapter 1 for the Pharmaceutical Quality System, Annex 16 for the handling of an unexpected deviation at certification, and ICH Q9 and Q10 for quality risk management and the product lifecycle.
Narrated from beginning to end. Every one of the thirty eight topics has a spoken track, so the course can be studied at a desk, in a car, or on a phone during a shift change. Very little online GMP training is narrated, and reading thirty eight screens of text is how good training gets abandoned half way through.
Outcomes
What you will be able to do
Audience
Who this is for
This course is written for personnel involved in deviations at any stage of the process: production operators and supervisors who detect them, QC analysts who raise them from the laboratory, QA officers and managers who assess, classify and close them, investigation leads and root cause facilitators, Qualified Persons and Responsible Persons who must rely on the classification assigned by others, and engineering staff involved in equipment-related events.
It also suits a site seeking one consistent standard across departments, so that the same definitions and rules apply everywhere, which is typically where deviation quality improves.
Prerequisite. A working knowledge of GMP. Our Introduction to GMP course, or equivalent experience on a GMP site, is sufficient.

What is included
What you get with enrolment
Thirty eight topics across six teaching lessons and a reference section, narrated throughout. The toolkit below leaves the screen with you, in Word and PDF, in a format you can put your own logo on and take through your own document control.
That is the whole course. If it matches the standard you want on site, joining the founding list holds this price for you until it opens.
Evidence of training
Your certificate
On completion you receive a Truex Consultancy certificate in your name, carrying the date, the course code TC-GMP-DEV-01, and the frameworks the course is built on: EU GMP Chapters 1 and 8, Annex 16, ICH Q9 and ICH Q10.
It is written to be filed. When an inspector asks how your staff were trained in deviation handling, the certificate names the standard, the content and the date, which is what a training record is for.

Price and access
What it costs
How that compares
Published prices for comparable European GMP training, checked in August 2026. The formats are not identical and it is worth saying so: a live session has something recorded training cannot, which is a tutor in the room. What it does not have is a second chance. It runs once, on a date somebody else chose, and when it ends there is nothing to go back to.
The retention design
Cost is the simplest comparison, but the more important question is whether the training still holds six months later, when an inspector is on site. Four features of this course are designed for exactly that, and a single live session cannot deliver any of them once it has finished.
That is not a claim about how much more anyone remembers. It is simply what the course does: it tests you, it lets you space it out, it stays available for a year, and it gives you the material twice over. Training that is taken once and never returned to is the most expensive kind, whatever it cost.
Training several people? Get in touch for team pricing. Most sites train a whole quality unit rather than one person, and the material is designed to be used that way.
