What Is Quality by Design and Why It Matters for Icelandic PharmaA Science-Based Route to Consistent Quality

The Quality by Design Training in Iceland is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches the Quality by Design (QbD) approach to pharmaceutical product and process development. QbD is a systematic, science-based way to build quality into a medicine from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end, and it is defined by the ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development guideline alongside ICH Q9, Q10 and Q11.

For professionals across Iceland's biosimilar, generic and medical device sector, from Alvotech and Coripharma to smaller CDMOs, this approach is now the expected foundation of modern development and of regulatory submissions to the EMA and FDA. The course shows you how to apply the core tools, the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes, risk assessment, Design of Experiments and the control strategy, to your own work.

Delivered in live virtual and onsite formats by Invensis Learning, the training suits formulation scientists, process engineers, analytical scientists, and quality and regulatory professionals. You leave able to design quality in, reduce manufacturing risk and support stronger submissions, with skills you can use immediately.

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

Quality by Design is a systematic, science-based approach to pharmaceutical development that builds quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. It is defined by ICH Q8(R2) and supported by ICH Q9, Q10 and Q11, using tools such as the QTPP, Critical Quality Attributes, risk assessment, Design of Experiments and the control strategy.

General

What is Quality by Design (QbD)?

Who should attend the Quality by Design training?

The course is designed for formulation scientists, process development engineers, analytical and QC scientists, and quality assurance and regulatory affairs professionals in pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, API and medical device organisations. It suits anyone in Iceland's pharma sector who wants to apply QbD in development and submissions.

Assessment

How is learning checked during the course?

Learning is reinforced through hands-on QbD tool exercises, realistic pharmaceutical case studies and team discussion rather than a formal assessment. You apply the QTPP, CQA identification, risk assessment and design-space interpretation to development scenarios during the programme.

Does the course award a formal credential?

No. This is a non-certification skills course, so there is no formal credential or awarding body. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, and the QbD skills you gain are immediately applicable to your work.

What do I receive on completing the training?

On completing the one-day programme you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning that recognises your participation. More importantly, you leave able to apply the full QbD toolkit to pharmaceutical development projects.

Is there any test at the end of the course?

No. There is no examination or test. The training focuses on practical understanding, reinforced through tool exercises and case studies across the QbD framework.

How soon can I apply QbD skills at work?

Straight away. Because the course is practical and non-certification, you can construct QTPPs, lead CQA identification, run risk assessments and plan Design of Experiments on live projects as soon as you return to work.

Course Content

What topics does the Quality by Design course cover?

The one-day course covers the full QbD framework across six modules: QbD principles and the ICH context, the QTPP and Critical Quality Attributes, risk assessment, Design of Experiments and the design space, Process Analytical Technology and the control strategy, and QbD in practice through case studies and CTD submissions.

What will I be able to do after the training?

You will be able to construct a QTPP, identify and classify Critical Quality Attributes, map risks with Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA, plan and interpret a Design of Experiments, define the design space, and build a control strategy for regulatory submission.

Does the course cover both small molecule and biologic products?

Yes. The course covers QbD for small molecule drug products such as tablets and injectables, and for biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars, with case study examples from both, which is directly relevant to Iceland's biosimilar sector.

Are there hands-on exercises in the course?

Yes. Hands-on exercises run throughout the day, including QTPP construction, CQA identification, Ishikawa risk mapping, DoE design selection and design-space interpretation, all applied to realistic pharmaceutical development scenarios.

Which framework and guidelines is the course based on?

The course is grounded in the ICH quality guidelines, principally ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, together with Q9, Q10 and Q11, and reflects EMA and FDA expectations for QbD evidence in modern regulatory submissions.
