GMP Training Courseware Released In Spanish For Finished Pharmaceutical Products

In response to the demand from pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in areas where Spanish is the primary language, Learnwright is now offering a Spanish version of its unique GMP training courseware for Finished Pharmaceutical Products. Both the Basic and Intermediate courses have been localized for optimum use in Puerto Rico.

These courses have all of the same interactive audio and visual features, instructional design principles, and performance tracking for which Learnwright is noted. The content was translated and the audio recorded by native speakers. Spanish-speaking experts from Puerto Rico who have expertise in translation for the pharmaceutical industry and specifically, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), reviewed the completed training courses. Spanish language print brochures for these courses are available at our website:
