This eLearning course will teach you how to define the action that must be taken when a non-conformance is received and then the key aspects of completion, ready for verification.

This course explains the roles of accountable manager and responsible person and divides up the 7-steps of completing corrective and preventive actions between them. This means it’s clear who is accountable for each non-conformance that’s raised.

Defining the action that needs to be taken is a focus of this course, to ensure that it’s appropriate for the non-conformance. It provides guidelines on how to define the action and then how to collate evidence of its completion.

Defining what action is needed, before it’s assigned for completion is based on the same principle – as it ensures that the action taken is appropriate to resolve the non-conformance.

    Content was OK but the persons voice was very annoying and made you want to speed your way through the training!

      Thanks for your feedback about our course Lucy. We’re sorry that the voiceover in the course wasn’t to your liking. We understand that it can be frustrating listening and waiting for the audio to finish so you can move on in the course more quickly. We do listen and act on feedback wherever possible so we will update the course so that there is a speed setting which will allow the course to move more quickly. We have been applying this setting for courses that were published more recently.
