LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER: NHP Level 3 is Here - Go Beyond Approval

Greetings!


Level 3 of our Natural Health Products workshop series moves beyond initial approval and into the ongoing regulatory responsibilities that govern products once they are on the market. Building on earlier sessions covering classification, licensing, manufacturing, and labelling, this workshop focuses on maintaining compliance across the full product lifecycle in Canada and beyond.


The session provides a practical overview of Canadian post-market requirements, including importation, exportation, and distribution. Participants will gain clarity on the responsibilities of licence holders, importers, and distributors, along with key exemptions for personal use and clinical trials. The workshop also introduces Master Files and their role in protecting proprietary ingredient information while supporting product licence and clinical trial applications.


A key focus is clinical trial oversight for NHPs. Attendees will learn when authorization is required, how trial phases differ, and what Health Canada expects in terms of applications, ethics approval, and adverse reaction reporting. The session also covers pharmacovigilance requirements, helping participants identify, assess, and report adverse reactions in line with regulatory expectations.


In addition, the workshop provides a comparative overview of international frameworks, including U.S. dietary supplement regulation under DSHEA and FDA oversight, offering insight into global compliance considerations.


This workshop is designed for professionals and students working with Natural Health Products and dietary supplements who need a practical understanding of post-market and global regulatory requirements. It is particularly relevant for those in regulatory affairs, quality assurance, product development, manufacturing, import/export, compliance, and clinical research roles.


The session is led by Andreea Simo, a regulatory affairs and quality professional with experience across global organizations such as PepsiCo and Jamieson Vitamins, as well as consulting firms and start-ups. Her background ensures a practical, industry-aligned understanding of how Natural Health Products are managed beyond approval and throughout their lifecycle.

Step Into QA/QC & Regulatory with Industry-Ready Training

Greetings!


If you’re looking to build a serious foundation in Quality Assurance, Quality Control, or Regulatory Affairs, this is where it starts. At AAPS College, our GMP pathway is designed to take you from understanding the fundamentals of compliance to applying it in real-world, regulated environments. Whether you're entering the pharmaceutical, natural health products, or medical device space, these programs are structured to reflect how the industry actually operates - where regulations define the rules and GMP ensures those rules are followed at every stage of manufacturing, testing, and release.


Our Natural Health Products program focuses on the regulatory side of the industry, helping you understand how products are classified, licensed, and monitored under Health Canada. This is complemented by our GMP Level I, II, and III courses, which progressively build your expertise from foundational concepts to advanced, global compliance standards followed by leading pharmaceutical organizations. Together, this combination gives you both the “why” and the “how” behind compliance - something employers actively look for across QA, QC, and RA roles.


If you're planning to enter the industry, switch into QA/RA, or strengthen your technical credibility, this is a practical and structured way to do it. These programs are aligned with current regulatory expectations and designed to prepare you for real responsibilities in regulated environments - not just theory.

GMP clarity you actually need

Greetings!


GMP is one of those things everyone knows exists, but very few teams actually execute properly across manufacturing, documentation, and quality systems. This workshop is designed to bridge that gap. Instead of going through theory, the focus is on how GMP actually applies across real pharmaceutical operations, including manufacturing, packaging, labeling, testing, and control, and what it takes to maintain compliance in a regulated environment. It also addresses what happens when things go wrong, and how non-compliance directly impacts product quality, integrity, and regulatory standing.


The session walks through GMP the way it functions in practice. It covers the core principles, management responsibilities, and how quality is maintained on the floor, along with documentation requirements such as SOPs, validation, and accurate record keeping. Participants will also gain clarity on production controls, sanitation programs, methods and specifications, and how to handle deviations and out-of-specification results. Additional focus is placed on change control, current industry expectations, and how to remain audit-ready at all times, including practical insights into handling inspectors and regulatory audits without last-minute scrambling.


This workshop is relevant for professionals across pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, vitamins, herbals, and allied industries, particularly those working in Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, Clinical Research, Documentation, Product Submission, Project Management, Training, and Product Development. It is equally valuable for managers, supervisors, associates, consultants, and stakeholders involved in bringing products to market or maintaining compliance within regulated environments.


By the end of the session, participants will have a clearer understanding of GMP principles and how they translate into day-to-day operations, stronger capability in developing and maintaining compliant documentation, better control over quality systems and deviation handling, and a more structured approach to preparing for regulatory inspections. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion. If you are working in a regulated environment, GMP is not something you can afford to be unclear about. Register now.
