Riaaz Santoe - Apotheker Senior QA Officer

2024

4 out of 5 stars

Strong points (and why):

Het was een leerzame training. Alle onderwerpen zijn aan bod gekomen. Het ene onderwerp is voor de een belangrijker dan voor de ander. Maar ook leuk om perspectief vanuit iemand anders te bekijken.

Review:

De laatste workshop had te veel tekst. Lastig te lezen door allemaal verwijzingen naar verschillende personen. Het introductie praatje was duidelijker dan het stuk tekst.

Jan - Apotheker

2024

5 out of 5 stars

Strong points (and why):

Dat alle hoofdstukken 1 voor 1 zijn behandeld.

To be improved:

Geen

Review:

Ondanks dat er veel onderwerpen behandeld moeten worden zou het toch fijn zijn als er wat meer tijd zou zijn voor de workshops.

Annemiek van den Hoven - QA compliance specialist

2024

4 out of 5 stars

Strong points (and why):

De training ondanks de taaie wetgeving toch levendig houden

Review:

De cursus was zeer interessant, maar voor de workshops was te weinig tijd. Het helpt wel als de workshops dan nog uitgewerkt worden en toegevoegd aan de slides, dan kan er nog naar terug gekeken worden.
