    What Is Quality by Design Training?Building Quality in, Not Testing It In

    Quality by Design Training in Singapore is a practical, one-day course that teaches the Quality by Design (QbD) approach to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical product and process development. Instead of testing quality in at the end, you learn to build it in from the design stage, based on a thorough understanding of the product and its manufacturing process. The programme is grounded in the ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development guideline and the wider ICH Q9, Q10 and Q11 framework that governs modern QbD practice. You work through the full toolkit: the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), risk assessment with Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA, Design of Experiments (DoE), the design space, Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and the control strategy, all applied to realistic development scenarios. It suits formulation scientists, process development engineers, analytical scientists, quality assurance professionals and CMC regulatory affairs specialists across Singapore's pharma and biopharma sector. Start building QbD capability with Invensis Learning and apply it to your own projects straight away.

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

    Quality by Design Training is a practical, one-day skills course on the QbD approach to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development, where quality is built into the product from the design stage. It is worth it because QbD skills are increasingly expected by employers and regulators across Singapore's pharma sector, and they apply directly to your work.

    General

    What is Quality by Design Training and is it worth it?

    Quality by Design Training is a practical, one-day skills course on the QbD approach to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development, where quality is built into the product from the design stage. It is worth it because QbD skills are increasingly expected by employers and regulators across Singapore's pharma sector, and they apply directly to your work.

    What is the QbD approach based on?

    QbD is a systematic, science-based approach defined by the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines. It uses tools such as the Quality Target Product Profile, Critical Quality Attributes, risk assessment, Design of Experiments, the design space and the control strategy to design quality into pharmaceutical products.

    Who should attend this course?

    The training suits formulation scientists, process development engineers, analytical scientists, quality assurance professionals, CMC regulatory affairs specialists and manufacturing technical managers in pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, API, CDMO and medical device organisations who want to understand and apply QbD.

    Do I need prior QbD experience to join?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Familiarity with pharmaceutical development or GMP is helpful but not required, as the course introduces QbD from first principles in a pharmaceutical development context.

    Is QbD relevant for both small molecules and biologics?

    Yes. The course covers QbD principles for small molecule drug products such as tablets and injectables and for biopharmaceutical products such as monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars, with case study examples from both. This is especially relevant to Singapore's growing biologics sector.

    Pricing

    How much does Quality by Design Training cost in Singapore?

    Pricing varies by delivery mode, group size and whether you join a scheduled session or an in-house corporate programme. Fees are available on request, so contact us for a current quote tailored to your needs in Singapore. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor.

    Assessment

    Is there a test at the end of the course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no formal assessment. Learning is reinforced through hands-on QbD tool exercises, pharmaceutical case studies and group discussion during the one-day programme.

    Do I receive proof of completion?

    Yes. Participants receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. No formal credential is awarded by an external body, as QbD is a skills discipline rather than a credentialled scheme; the value is in the practical capability you build.

    How will my learning be reinforced without a test?

    Through applied practice. You work through QTPP construction, CQA identification, Ishikawa risk mapping, a DoE design exercise and design space interpretation on realistic scenarios, so you leave able to apply the tools rather than recall theory.

    Will I be able to apply QbD at work afterwards?

    Yes. After the course you can construct a QTPP, identify and classify CQAs, facilitate risk assessments with Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA, plan a DoE strategy, interpret a design space and help develop a control strategy for regulatory submissions.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QbD syllabus cover?

    The one-day programme covers QbD principles and the ICH regulatory framework, the QTPP and CQAs, risk assessment with Ishikawa and FMEA, DoE and the design space, PAT and the control strategy, and QbD in practice through case studies, CTD submissions and lifecycle management.

    How long is the training and how is it delivered?

    The course runs for one day (about eight hours), and can also be arranged as two half-days. It is delivered in live virtual (online), classroom and corporate onsite formats, so you can choose the option that fits your schedule in Singapore.

    Does the course include hands-on exercises?

    Yes. QbD tool exercises run throughout the day, including QTPP construction, CQA identification and criticality assessment, Ishikawa risk mapping, a DoE design selection exercise and design space interpretation, all on realistic pharmaceutical development scenarios.

    Which ICH guidelines does the course reference?

    The course is grounded in ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, ICH Q9 Quality Risk Management, ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System and ICH Q11 for drug substances, along with FDA PAT guidance and CTD submission expectations.

    Can beginners follow the material?

    Yes. The course introduces QbD from first principles, so professionals new to it can follow along, while those with development or GMP experience can connect the tools to their own work. No prior QbD knowledge is assumed.
