Course Offer

Arithmos, qualified as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) according to AIFA DM 15.11.2011 and registered on the AIFA Observatory portal since 2017, will launch the practical Advanced Training Course "GxP Laboratories (Good for Practice) - Requirements for Performing the Function of QA and GCP Auditor" in the autumn of 2024.

The course is offered at the proposal of Arithmos Srl in collaboration with the DARE project (research co-funded by the Italian Complementary National Plan PNC-I.1 "Research initiatives for innovative technologies and pathways in the health and welfare sector" D.D. 931 of 06/06/2022, "DARE – DigitAl lifelong pRevEntion" initiative, code PNC0000002, CUP: B53C22006450001).

The two-month course, delivered in Italian, aims to introduce the theoretical aspects necessary for auditing activities on trials or experimental centers.

The course is designed as an initial step in theoretical training to achieve the qualification required by current regulations (DM 15.11.2011) for GCP Auditors.

The idea of a practical course on Good Practices (GxP) arose from the observed shortage of specialized personnel in this potential employment area.
