Good Laboratory Practice: Principles and Documentation

This course equips laboratory personnel with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice and the documentation discipline that underpins credible, auditable results. Participants work through real study plans, raw data handling, and archiving requirements that regulators and international partners expect from African testing and research facilities. Emphasis falls on closing the gap between what a laboratory believes it does and what its records can actually prove.
