This new programme offers the first competency-based international certification for pharmaceutical professionals and covers a range of competencies from drug product development through manufacturing
Enhanced credibility; peer respect and recognition; greater opportunities for professional advancement; and a competitive edge when job seeking, are some of the benefits that pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals can gain with certification as a Certified Pharmaceutical Industry Professional (CPIP) made available through the ISPE Professional Certification Commission (ISPE-PCC).
Candidates are assessed through demonstrated education, experience, and a rigorous examination.
The CPIP programme is hailed by many in the industry as beneficial to team leaders, allowing the ability to impact greater quality and efficiency in their specific roles.
"Our industry benefits from employees certified in diverse knowledge, and with the ability to apply this knowledge across all segments of our industry," said Ali Afnan of the United States Food and Drug Administration.
According to Donovan Wearne, CEO of SeerPharma: "SeerPharma provides expert QA and GxP consulting services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices industries.
"In our business our reputation and success absolutely depends on the technical knowledge, innovation and responsiveness to change of our consulting team.
"The CPIP credential is therefore a perfect fit with our corporate vision and aspirations for our consultants and business.
"We intend to strategically use the CPIP credential now and in the future to qualify our team and support their ongoing professional development".
The 2007 exams for the new certification for pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals will be available to the industry 9 July - 4 August and 5 November - 8 December.
According to Jerry Roth, director of professional certification, likely candidates for this credential are those who work in drug product development; drug product manufacturing operations; facilities/process engineering; facility and process equipment manufacturing and supply; project management; regulatory compliance/ QA/Validation; and technical support.
Eligibility applications should be submitted at least 60 days prior to exam dates.
Those CPIP candidates deemed eligible by the PCC will be authorised to register for and take the exam.
The examination will be available in Thomson Prometric professional testing centres located in major cities around the world.
Eligible candidates will be able to make a reservation on-line at a local testing centre close to their work or home.
