# Training production techniques and quality control, at the workstation. The hub for the hands-on moves that underpin product compliance: weighing and material dispensing, formulation, working in a controlled atmosphere, incoming material control, equipment qualification. Short modules, designed to be taken in front of the line. ![Operators in cleanroom gowning on a pharmaceutical production line](/assets/img/academy/hero-formations-reglementaires-techniques.webp) - ✓**From €19 per module** — [see pricing](/en/academy/pricing/) - ✓**6 modules of 16 to 24 min**, taken at the workstation - ✓**Auditable certificate**, stands up in inspection ## Validated doesn't mean mastered. A process can be perfectly validated and still produce variability. The gap almost never comes from the file: it comes from execution. Two operators who weigh, sample or clean differently produce two different results, and that variability is what ends up as a deviation, an OOS or an audit finding. **Production techniques training** and **quality control training** target exactly that point: the move itself. Weighing and material dispensing, non-sterile liquid formulation, behavior in a controlled atmosphere, sampling and incoming material control, equipment qualification — each module isolates one critical move and makes it repeatable. These programs are aimed at production, the quality control laboratory, logistics and maintenance. They combine naturally with [GMP fundamentals](/en/resources/gmp/) and with [deviation and CAPA management](/en/academy/pharma-quality/). −15 to −30% fewer deviations observed when operator-to-operator variability is reduced by working on the move at the workstation.

Do these programs lead to a diploma or a vocational qualification? + No. These modules are for manufacturers training employees already in post, not for people retraining or seeking a qualification. They deliver an auditable certificate that stands up in inspection, not a professional title or a national certification. How is this different from the pharma quality hub? + This hub covers the technical move: weighing, formulating, sampling, working in a classified area, qualifying equipment. The pharma quality hub covers the system around those moves: deviations, CAPA, change control. The two are complementary, and most role-based programs combine both. Are there prerequisites for these modules? + Beginner modules require nothing beyond starting a role in a production environment. Intermediate and advanced modules assume familiarity with GMP and with the site's vocabulary. Each module page states the intended audience. Can the content be adapted to our own procedures? + The catalog is ready to deploy as is. When a move is specific to your site — a piece of equipment, a recipe, a shop-floor constraint — we produce the module to order, filmed with your own operators, using Hoctav for video capture. Does the certificate hold up in an inspection? + Yes. Every module issues an auditable certificate with a full completion history, which integrates into your LMS via SCORM or xAPI. That is what lets you demonstrate effective training for each operator on each critical move. ## Continue on a related topic. - [GMP training →](/en/resources/gmp/) - [Pharma quality, deviations & CAPA →](/en/academy/pharma-quality/) - [HSE & workplace safety →](/en/academy/hse-safety/) - [Cybersecurity awareness →](/en/academy/cybersecurity/) ## Explore our Production & quality control catalog.
