Introduction

Supplementary training and education is often overlooked by medical device professionals until it is triggered by an upcoming FDA or Notified Body and/or ISO 13485 certification audit. The requirement for training is, nevertheless, an essential element of all Quality Management Systems, and should not be confined to only those occasions.

The Qserve is able to offer training which is tailored to meet your needs. This can vary from a day training course on specialist subjects to multiple-day courses, specifically targeted at management or production staff, as required. These courses also offer an opportunity to meet fellow professionals and to exchange valuable information. They are conducted in small groups with a specified maximum number of participants.

Qserve delivers courses and training in English, German, France and in Dutch, at Qserve offices, external locations and on-site at your own organization both in the EU and the US. These can be concluded, if required, with an examination and/or certificate.

Our expert trainers all have many years of “real” experience in their own particular areas of the Medical Device Industry, ensuring your company a high quality training session. The Qserve offers a wide range of training courses which encompass every aspect of Quality Management and Regulatory Affairs and emphasize the

“Practical Approach” for more than 15 years.

In the following table you’ll find our ‘standard’ training overview.Please be advised that extensions of the individual training programs over multiple days are always possible to cover additional and specific requirements of the customer or additional and specific country/region requirements.

All trainings can be tailored to satisfy your specific needs and expectations, including the use of your own Quality Management System, your own product Technical Documentation and your own product range for inclusion in the cases and exercises.

Any combination of trainings can be chosen to provide for an efficient and effective training planning.

We are able to provide all these trainings at your location worldwide, from our office in The Netherlands or in the USA and will support you in providing the training efficiently, to minimize travel and lodging expenses.
