Good Laboratory Practices Certification Compliance Course
Quality & Compliance · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
GLP course covers Uncertainty Measurement, Data & Method Validation, and SPC, aligned with ISO/IEC 17025. It equips participants with the knowledge to implement effective quality management systems and meet global regulatory expectations in analytical laboratories. Our course explores the full spectrum of GLP elements, including laboratory organization, personnel qualifications, and equipment maintenance.
Learning Objectives
Understand the framework of quality assurance in laboratories and the significance of implementing the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
Define Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and explain its relevance to modern laboratories and technology transfer.
Evaluate the financial and operational impact of non-compliance with GLP.
Identify and interpret GLP standards and international regulations (OECD, USA, Canada, Europe, Japan) that govern laboratory operations.
Differentiate between various regulatory systems, particularly the USA and OECD GLP frameworks, and determine their applicability to their own laboratories.
Recognize and address critical compliance issues across GLP components, including organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, testing procedures, controls, documentation, and reporting.
Understand the concepts of measurement uncertainty, including sources, estimation processes, and how to conduct uncertainty analysis.
Apply techniques for calculating combined and expanded uncertainty, and follow best practices for reporting measurement uncertainty.
Implement statistical process control (SPC) to monitor and enhance laboratory process stability and capability.
Conduct method validation in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and apply appropriate data validation techniques.

Courses combine the methodology with worked examples from Saudi industry.
Who should attend a quality and compliance course?
These courses suit quality managers and engineers, QA/QC inspectors, internal and lead auditors, process and continuous-improvement specialists, compliance officers, and operations managers responsible for defect reduction or certification readiness. No prior belt or auditor qualification is assumed.
How long are quality and compliance courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa quality and compliance courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can quality and compliance training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa quality and compliance course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
