Courses, since first introduced in 1981, continue to be very successful. Provided originally as an ancillary program to the monthly seminars, courses are now central to programming. Courses vary from one to two days in length and cover a broad range of topics in substantial depth. Past courses have included Writing SOPs, Introduction to Practical Statistics, Clean Room Controls, Lean Six Sigma, HPLC Method and Risk Management. As a further service to our members, we have introduced the PSG Certification Program which provides comprehensive professional development courses, and allows newcomers and experienced professionals in the healthcare sector to earn a PSG Certificate.

Attendance at courses is by pre-registration and advance payment of a fee either by cheque or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or AMEX). All courses are open to non-members. Since non-member fees are considerably higher, individuals working in the pharmaceutical industry are urged to join the Pharmaceutical Sciences Group to avoid the higher fee schedules. Recommendations for new courses are always welcome. Please contact our office with suggestions.
