Professional Development Courses

A common requirement of Good Manufacturing Practice, Good Laboratory Practice, Good Clinical Practice and Good Pharmacovigilance Practices is that staff are qualified by training and experience for their roles. Since 1988 BARQA has been providing training to help you and your staff to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills needed to stay current in the fast moving world of Pharmaceutical, agrochemical and chemical research and development.

The professional Development programme has developed in response to the needs of industry and a genuine desire to offer the very best in training and knowledge sharing. It is designed to meet the needs of all those involved in quality management in research and development that impacts on human health, animal health and environmental safety.

The majority of residential courses are held at the beautiful 16th century Madingley Hall, the home of Cambridge university's Institute of Continuing Education located about 3 miles west of Cambridge.

Seminars and Symposia

These are usually one-day events organised to promote information exchange on a wide variety of topics of current interest.
