Study at a time and place that suits you
All materials are delivered asynchronously online, meaning that you never have to be available at a certain time or place to study. There are no zoom classes and no long commutes to a classroom.
Whatever your current schedule – work, children, travel, caring responsibilities, shifts, volunteering, and even total unpredictability – as long as you can find approximately 10 hours per week, you can absolutely fit this programme in.
Study at your own pace
Your individual materials will be released by your dedicated Course Coordinator who’ll keep a weekly check on your progress. So you’ll never feel like you’re rushing to keep up with others and you’ll never be in a position where you feel overwhelmed by what’s waiting for you when you log in. Similarly, when you’ve got some extra time in your schedule you can move ahead more quickly by requesting additional materials.
You will always be working at a pace that is comfortable for you.

What the Application Process Involves
If you’ve read everything above then hopefully you now know that our entire system is set up to give you all the help we can towards success. Our application process is where that begins.
We’re not interested in trying to take on as many students as possible. We look to take on the right candidates, who want to work in the same way we do. So to apply…
- You’ll click on [details of button] and fill in your details.
- We’ll send you an email to acknowledge that we’ve got your application.
- One of our team will telephone you within 2 working days. This step is very important in the process and there are only 3 people in the company who make these calls. This is NOT a sales call and no one will be trying to persuade you to sign up – it’s about figuring out if this is the right programme to help you meet your goals, and if you’re a good fit for how our courses operate. During that call, you’ll have a chat about the course you’ve applied for and have the opportunity to ask any questions.
- After that call, and based on that chat we’ve had, we’ll let you know if you’ve been selected for one of the limited numbers of places on our next available course start date.
- You’ll then have one last call that’s a final chance to ask any questions and, if you’re happy to proceed, your payment will be taken and you’ll get all the information you need to get started with week one!

“I can Study Around Work and Family Commitments”
I’d recommend this course to anyone that wants to work in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturing industry and is interested in building a successful career in this area. The online experience is working well for me as I study around work and family commitments.
The companies I applied for were very impressed. I am currently working in Boston Scientific manufacturing Balloon Catheters for Gallstone patients.

“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:
Food Manufacturing
“Structurally Well Planned with the Opportunity for Practical Application”
I found the course to be interesting, 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.
