This interactive training course takes place at the Skan Academy in the newly built Skan Headquarters in Basel.
On the first day, the focus is on glove handling. Theoretical units alternate with hands-on units, so that the participants can experience what they have heard live. On the second day, participants will get an overview of all aspects of the isolator. Here, too, both theory and hands-on units are offered.
During the training course there is enough time and space for exchange of experiences and discussions. For this reason, the training course is designed for a limited number of participants only.
Who Should Attend
- Operators
- Manufacturing Supervisors
- QA Managers
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants have understood:
- the different components of an isolator
- the interactions between the different components
The participants have learned:
- the relevant GMP regulations and other guidelines
- the do's and don'ts in daily operations
- the basic principles of maintenance, calibration, and validation
The participants can perform:
- glove testing
- handling of settle plates
- transfer of items in and out of isolator
In response to considerable demand, all participants will now be given access to electronic course notes, which may be printed once for use during the course approximately 1 week in advance. Hard copies of course notes will not be provided to participants.
Program Highlights
An additional highlight is the joint dinner at the end of the first training course day, where participants and trainers can get to know each other better and expand their network. Don't miss this unique opportunity and reserve the evening for this get-together.Highlighted Trainers
