Workplace training again

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm up to my ears in workplace training. More specifically, I'm on the receiving end. As I previously mentioned it's an online training course. I got through the GMP module quite handily, and was fairly impressed with it. I am somewhat less impressed with their GLP module. If they proof-read it at all, they did a pretty rubbishy job of it. I (and I am not alone) suspect that they simply didn't bother.

They refer to information buttons that are simply not there. They use an out-of-date ICH table. They refer to an ISO that we don't actually have (okay, so that's our fault, not theirs - but some warning that we'd need it would have been nice.).

Now, it's all very good and well going through this sort of thing when you've already got a background in labwork, but if you, like me, are a Document Control person who dropped out of a Bachelor of Science because you were failing before eventually stumbling into Quality Assurance, then when you find yourself confronting this sort of thing, you're going to be in trouble.

Mind you, even with the degree you'd be in trouble - university science courses (or so I have been told) simply do not prepare you for a regulated working environment. They don't tell you about GMP, or the prospect of going to jail if you get it wrong. Badly reviewed training courses really don't help the matter.
