It covers a range of competencies from drug product development through manufacturing. Candidates are assessed through demonstrated education, experience, and a rigorous examination.
Said Donovan Wearne, CEO of SeerPharma Pty Ltd.: "The CPIP credential is a perfect fit with our corporate vision and aspirations for our consultants and business. We intend to strategically use the CPIP credential now and in the future to qualify our team and support their ongoing professional development."
The 2007 exams for the new certification for pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals will be available to the industry between 9 July to 4 August and 5 November to 8 December 2007.
Jerry Roth, PE, Director of Professional Certification, said likely candidates for this credential are those who work in drug product development; drug product manufacturing operations; facilities/process engineering; facility and process equipment manufacturing and supply; project management; regulatory compliance/ QA/Validation; and technical support.
Eligibility applications should be submitted at least 60 days prior to exam dates. Those CPIP candidates deemed eligible by the PCC will be authorized to register for and take the exam.
