    What Is Quality by Design and Why It MattersUntitledA Science-Led Route to Built-In Quality

    The Quality by Design (QbD) Training is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you how to build quality into pharmaceutical products from the design stage instead of testing it in at the end. Delivered across Croatia in live virtual and classroom formats, this Quality by Design training grounds you in the ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development guideline and the wider ICH quality framework (Q9, Q10 and Q11) that regulators such as the EMA and FDA now expect. You learn to work through the full QbD chain: defining the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), identifying Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), running risk assessment, using Design of Experiments (DoE) to map the design space, and building a robust control strategy. Every concept is applied to realistic development scenarios. For scientists, engineers and quality professionals in Croatia's growing pharma sector, QbD fluency is fast becoming a core workplace expectation. Start building that capability with Invensis Learning.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Quality by Design is a systematic, science-based approach that builds quality into pharmaceutical products from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. It is defined by the ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development guideline and is increasingly expected by regulators such as the EMA and FDA.

    General

    What is Quality by Design (QbD) and why does it matter?

    Quality by Design is a systematic, science-based approach that builds quality into pharmaceutical products from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. It is defined by the ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development guideline and is increasingly expected by regulators such as the EMA and FDA.

    Is the Quality by Design training worth it for my career in Croatia?

    Yes. QbD fluency is a high-value, practical skill across Croatia's pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector, where manufacturers, biosimilar developers, API producers and CDMOs are expanding and modernising. It applies directly to formulation, analytical, process, quality and regulatory work.
