Introduction:
Validation & Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) Basics introduces the fundamental principles used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to ensure that equipment, systems, and processes consistently perform according to predefined standards. These activities are critical components of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and quality assurance systems. Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) together establish documented evidence that facilities, equipment, and processes operate reliably and produce consistent results.

Scope:
The scope of this program includes the principles of pharmaceutical validation, qualification of equipment and systems, and the documentation practices required to maintain regulatory compliance. It covers the stages of qualification including Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, and Performance Qualification, as well as validation protocols, testing procedures, risk assessment, and quality control measures used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory environments.

Objectives:

• To understand the importance of validation and qualification in pharmaceutical quality systems.
• To learn the concepts and procedures of IQ, OQ, and PQ in equipment and process qualification.
• To develop knowledge of validation protocols, documentation, and regulatory compliance.
• To understand risk-based approaches and quality assurance practices in validation processes.
• To prepare learners for roles related to quality assurance, validation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

Who can enroll:
This program is suitable for pharmacy students including B.Pharm, M.Pharm, and Pharm.D, pharmaceutical science graduates, quality assurance professionals, and individuals working in pharmaceutical manufacturing or laboratory environments. It is also beneficial for those seeking foundational knowledge of validation and qualification practices used in regulated pharmaceutical industries.
