    What Is Quality by Design and Why It MattersA Science-Based Route to Better Products

    Quality by Design (QbD) is a systematic, science-based approach to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development that builds quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. Quality by Design training in Jamaica gives formulation scientists, process engineers, analytical scientists, quality assurance staff and regulatory professionals the tools to apply this approach with confidence. QbD is defined by the ICH Q8, Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines and is increasingly expected by regulators such as the FDA and EMA. Using structured tools like the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), risk assessment, Design of Experiments (DoE), the design space and the control strategy, you learn to design products that are consistently manufactured to their intended quality. As Jamaica's pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and medical cannabis manufacturers target regulated export markets, QbD skills help local teams meet the quality expectations those markets demand. Build practical capability you can apply to live development projects with Invensis Learning.
