1 What is GMP certification?

GMP certification is a formal recognition that a person, a team, or an organization has met the GMP requirements and demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to perform their roles and responsibilities in the manufacturing process. GMP certification can be obtained from various sources, such as regulatory authorities, industry associations, training providers, or internal programs. GMP certification can cover different aspects of GMP, such as general principles, documentation, validation, quality control, risk management, or specific topics related to the product or process.

Generic GMP certification is convenient but less effective than programs designed for the specific role. When requirements are set in a context people can relate to, and they can see the application in their daily work, they are much more likely to retain the knowledge and use it.

2 Why is GMP certification important?

GMP certification is important for several reasons. First, it helps to ensure that GMP staff are competent and qualified to perform their tasks and comply with the applicable regulations and standards. This can reduce the risk of errors, deviations, non-conformities, recalls, or regulatory actions that can compromise the quality and safety of the product and the reputation of the manufacturer. Second, it helps to improve the performance and efficiency of the manufacturing process by enhancing the skills and knowledge of GMP staff and fostering a culture of quality and continuous improvement. Third, it helps to demonstrate the commitment and credibility of the manufacturer to the customers, regulators, and other stakeholders by showing that they have invested in the professional development and certification of their GMP staff.

In my experience in the pharmaceutical industry, GMP certification is important because it is the critical aspect to ensure the end pharmaceutical product safety, quality and efficacy is guaranteed. Although I would also say the certification only is not enough, one organization can be certified today or have evidence of the certification in place, however, what is key is the implementation of the good manufacturing practices continuous, thus the certification can be a once off activity or repeated with periodic surveillance and the continuous application of the practices is not a once off activity. This brings about the concept of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).

3 How to certify GMP staff?

GMP staff certification can vary depending on the source, scope, and level of certification. However, some common steps involved in most GMP certification programs include identifying the GMP certification needs and objectives of the organization and the individual GMP staff. This can be done by conducting a gap analysis, a training needs assessment, or a competency mapping exercise. Additionally, selecting the appropriate GMP certification program or provider that matches the needs and objectives of the organization and the individual GMP staff is important. This can be done by comparing the content, format, duration, cost, and accreditation of different GMP certification programs or providers. Preparing for the GMP certification exam or assessment is key by reviewing the GMP certification syllabus, materials, and resources and studying the relevant GMP topics and concepts. Taking the GMP certification exam or assessment is also necessary to demonstrate mastery of GMP knowledge and skills. Finally, receiving the GMP certification certificate or credential and maintaining the GMP certification status by fulfilling the requirements and conditions of the GMP certification program or provider is essential.

One time at my workplace we had to put a GMP certifying/qualifying plan together for manufacturing staff. The first action was to identify the GMP requirements/needs the staff member had to be trained on inline with our manufacturing processes. And we had to put the staff in different categories; a) New staff member, identify the basic GMP training they had to go through before starting their manufacturing tasks. b)Experienced staff member with basic GMP/existing GMP standards who required training on the standards being updated/changing; which could be from within the company or triggered by health authorities. c)All staff member that required periodic refresher training on the existing GMP standards; with some trainings being annually

GMP certifications is "proof" that the organisation/manufacturing company complies to manufacturing standards, be it by Health Authorities or the standards the organisation developed for self. In my over a decade years of experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry, having working with internal and external manufacturing sites: 1.GMP certifications gives confidence to the end consumer (mostly this is known/monitored by Health Authorities) 2.The certification for external manufacturers boasts their profile for business; when there is bidding for new tenders GMP certificates and their validity is part of what is looked at be it by another private business entity, government entity or a non governmental organisation.

It can also create pressure and stress for the GMP staff, affecting their motivation and performance, as well as create conflicts between the certification requirements and the actual practice and reality of the manufacturing process and product.

GMP certification process can be costly especially for new coming up or small businesses. To put up a GMP certification plan together it can take a lot of resources and some organisation buy "off-shelf" GMP plan/packages and find ways to implement them to suit the applicable GMP standards in-line with the activities at the manufacturing site. A "tailor-made" GMP plan/package can also be sources from consultants or service providers companies and they first assess the standards that apply, assist to set up GMP system and prepare for the certification process. GMP certification challenge can be to ensure continuous application of the practices, when preparing to get certification that can be a success and sustainability is key.
