    What QbD Capability Delivers at WorkValue for Individuals and Organisations

    Where QbD Skills Take Your Pharma Career in CanadaIn-Demand Roles

    Quality by Design capability is increasingly valued across Canada's pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing sector, from generic and API manufacturers to biopharma innovators and CDMOs. As Health Canada, the FDA and the EMA expect ICH-aligned QbD evidence in submissions, and federal strategy expands domestic capacity, employers want scientists and quality professionals who can design quality in, not test it later. This is driving growing demand for Quality by Design training across the sector. Here is what the market is telling us right now.

    Why QbD Talent Is in Demand Across Canada

    QbD is more than a compliance box. It is the capability that separates strong pharmaceutical teams from the rest. Join professionals who design quality into products from the start. Begin your QbD journey today.

    Your QbD Skills, Before and After This Training,

    A Practical Capability Upgrade

    Canada's pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing sector is scaling fast, and employers increasingly separate teams who can apply Quality by Design from those who cannot. Here is the shift this training makes.

    Module 2: QbD Tools and Techniques

    • Risk management principles and tools used to identify, assess, and control quality risks in product development
    • Design of Experiments (DoE): fundamentals, design types, and how DoE is used to understand process variability
    • Design Space definition and control strategies: how boundaries are established and maintained throughout the product lifecycle

    Module 3: Industry and Regulatory Perspective

    • Regulatory framework for QbD including agency expectations from the FDA, EMA, and ICH guidelines
    • Implementation challenges organizations face when transitioning from traditional to QbD-based development approaches
    • Real-world industry examples demonstrating how pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations have adopted QbD

    Module 4: Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP)

    • Definition of the Quality Target Product Profile and its role in guiding QbD-based product development decisions
    • How QTPP links patient needs and regulatory requirements to specific product quality attributes and design objectives
    • Practical steps for defining a QTPP for pharmaceutical and biotechnology products

    Module 5: Critical Quality Attributes, Critical Material Attributes, and Critical Process Parameters

    • Identifying Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs): what they are, how to define them, and why they are central to QbD
    • Critical Material Attributes (CMAs): how raw material properties influence product quality and must be controlled
    • Critical Process Parameters (CPPs): identifying process parameters that impact CQAs and require monitoring and control

    Module 6: Statistical Design of Experiments

    • Fundamentals of statistical DoE including full factorial, fractional factorial, and response surface methodologies
    • Applications of DoE in pharmaceutical process development and optimization
    • Interpreting DoE results to establish design space boundaries and process understanding

    • Design Space concept: defining the multidimensional combination of input variables and process parameters that provide quality assurance
    • Implementation of Design Space within regulatory submissions and manufacturing control strategies
    • Continuous process verification and how Design Space supports process control across the product lifecycle

    Module 8: Risk Assessment and Management

    • Risk assessment methodologies used in QbD including FMEA, Ishikawa diagrams, and risk ranking tools

    • Practical considerations for implementing RTRT as part of a QbD-based control strategy

    Module 10: Case Studies and Practical Applications

    • Pharmaceutical and biotechnology case studies demonstrating end-to-end QbD implementation from QTPP to RTRT
    • Practical group exercises and scenario analysis applying QbD tools including QTPP definition, CQA identification, DoE, and risk assessment
    • Lessons learned and best practices from real QbD projects in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and manufacturing environments

    Course Curriculumof the Quality by Design Training

    The online Quality by Design training course curriculum in the Canada is structured across ten modules, taking learners from foundational QbD background and regulatory guidance through to real-world case studies and practical applications in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and manufacturing environments.

    The QbD Tools You Will Apply on Real ProjectsFrom Principles to Practice

    This programme builds hands-on command of the full Quality by Design toolkit, from QTPP and CQAs through risk assessment, DoE and the design space to PAT and the control strategy. By the end you can apply these tools to realistic pharmaceutical development scenarios.

    QbD Principles and the ICH Framework

    Understand how QbD replaces test-and-fix development and how ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 shape what Health Canada, the FDA and the EMA expect in modern pharmaceutical submissions.

    Building the QTPP and Identifying CQAs

    Construct a Quality Target Product Profile from clinical and patient needs, then identify and classify the Critical Quality Attributes that determine product safety, efficacy and quality.

    Risk Assessment with Ishikawa and FMEA

    Map potential sources of variation with Ishikawa diagrams and prioritise them using FMEA and Risk Priority Numbers, so development effort focuses on the highest-impact variables.

    Design of Experiments and the Design Space

    Plan screening, response-surface and mixture DoE studies, interpret the models, and define a design space with Normal Operating and Proven Acceptable Ranges.

    PAT and the Control Strategy

    Apply Process Analytical Technology tools such as NIR and Raman, and build a risk-based control strategy that keeps every batch within the design space.

    QbD in Submissions and Lifecycle Management

    Structure QbD evidence for CTD Section 3.2.P.2, and manage post-approval change and continuous improvement using ICH Q12 across the product lifecycle.

    What Our Learners Say

    From Theory to a Repeatable Method

    "The QbD training finally connected the ICH guidelines to day-to-day work. Building a QTPP and running the CQA and FMEA exercises gave me a repeatable way to plan formulation studies instead of guessing."

    Melissa Tremblay

    Formulation Scientist

    0/0

    DoE and Design Space Made Clear

    "The Design of Experiments and design space sessions were the most useful part for me. I now understand how to set Normal Operating and Proven Acceptable Ranges and defend them in a submission."

    Arjun Sharma

    Process Development Scientist

    0/0

    Exactly What a CMC Reviewer Needs

    "As a regulatory professional I needed to understand QbD evidence well enough to review it. The control strategy and CTD Section 3.2.P.2 walkthrough was practical and easy to follow."

    Claire Bergeron

    Regulatory Affairs Specialist

    0/0

    A Shared Language Across the Team

    "We trained our cross-functional development team together and it created a shared QbD language across formulation, process and QA. Deviations discussions are far more structured now."
