You will always be working at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Get started now

“Material was delivered in an engaging, interesting and supportive way”
Having faced a career change in the middle of an economic downturn, I lost some of myself confidence and needed a major boost. The area of Biopharmaceutical operations and validation was of interest to me as it does play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry at present.
I have now been working at Johnson and Johnson Vision Care as a Validation Engineer and I look forward to putting what I have learned into practice.

Sharon Egan
Previous Background:

“Structurally well planned with the opportunity for practical application”
I found the course to be interesting, and structurally well-planned with the opportunity for practical application of the course modules through various assignments.
I have worked in the Medical Device/Pharmaceutical and Food industries and found the course to be extremely relevant to all industries.

How We Deliver Our Online Courses without ZOOM Classes
With every GetReskilled ONLINE program:
- We use one centralized platform (Moodle) where you can log into your classroom anytime. Each week, you’ll watch videos and complete quizzes, tests, interactive activities, and projects. Course materials are available 24/7, and there are no scheduled Zoom classes, so you can study whenever it suits you—for example, after the kids have gone to bed, on the weekend, or whenever you have free time.
- Your working schedules are unpredictable, so we offer flexible delivery. Slow down, speed up, or pause the delivery of the program as needed.
- We release only one week’s worth of material at a time and manually check your activity logs at the beginning of every week to make sure you’re on track.
- You’ll also get a dedicated course leader who will:
- Help you create a weekly study plan
- Answer any questions
- Check your progress every Monday
- Follow up regularly to support you through to completion
This all helps us to spot any potential issues early and helps you completely finish the program.
