Course description

This online course focuses on understanding the process of how to develop new medical devices and maintaining them in organisations where design control requirements apply.

The course mentions both European and US requirements and introduces tools on how to work successfully and efficiently with design control.

We recommend this course for those who are new in the field as well as professionals involved in the development of medical devices such as quality assurance, project management, design engineering or those involved in R&D and product development teams.

The online course is made up of pre-recorded videos, quizzes, and a final exam. There is also a downloadable course companion within the course. 

If you purchase the ‘Online’ course plan you will have access to the course for 6 months from enrolment. If you purchase the ‘Online lifetime’ course plan you will have lifetime access (conditions apply).

Medical Device HQ is a member of the Swedish standardisation committee TK355 developing standards such as ISO 13485, ISO 14971 and IEC 62366-1. Peter Sebelius has partaken in authoring all of the above standards at an international level.

Benefits for you

Checkmark MDHQ Know why and how to work with design control

Design control can be made incredibly abstract if the course content focuses too much on the intangible requirements instead of how to actually do the work. 

This course provides an overview of how to find and interpret requirements as well as how to implement them with a lean and pragmatic approach, potentially saving you lots of time.

Checkmark MDHQ Self-paced and bite-sized learning

Our interactive online courses offer the flexibility to learn at your own pace. The high-quality videos are designed in bite-sized segments, making it easier to grasp and retain information. 

This format provides a convenient alternative to traditional classroom courses accommodating different learning styles and preferences.

Checkmark MDHQ Training effectiveness and record-keeping

Participants’ knowledge is assessed through pre-training quizzes and a final exam, enabling a true measure of the training’s effectiveness. 

Furthermore, we provide records, including the final exam score and course certificate, to satisfy ISO 13485 requirements, ensuring compliance and accountability.

Frequently asked questions

The course is not a webinar. This online course is made up of carefully scripted pre-recorded videos to maximize your learning. You can watch it as many times as you like, whenever and wherever you want. You can not download the course though, thus you will need to have an internet connection to take the course.

All in all, the average time to complete the course is 12-18 hours, but you can complete it in less time if you don’t repeat any of the lessons and have just one attempt at the quizzes. Please note, you don’t have to watch the whole course at once. In fact you can pause, resume and replay as often as you like. The only limitation is the final exam, where you will only have one shot.

If you purchase the ‘Online’ course plan you will have access to the course for 6 months from enrolment. If you purchase the ‘Online lifetime’ course plan you will have lifetime access to the course if you complete the final exam within 6 months of enrolment (conditions apply)

You need to have contact with our servers for your results to register on the final exam. If your computer for some reason has a problem and does not allow you to send the result of the final exam to our servers, we recommend that you take a photo or a “print screen” of the screen with your results. E-mail this image to us and we will investigate if you have successfully completed the exam and therefore should receive a course certificate even though the result has not been registered, or if you have to do the final exam again.
There is no pass/fail on the final exam (as long as you complete it within the time frame). Your result will be printed on the course certificate which means you can be really proud of your result if you get between 90% and 100% of the answers correct!
The course certificate is available for download after completing the final exam. All you need to do is log in to your account, go to My Courses and scroll down. You will find it under Your Course Certificates.

Yes, you can download a course companion within the online course. It contains a selection of key slides from the course and is in PDF format.

We offer a number of payment methods including credit card, GooglePay, ApplePay, PayPal, wire transfer/invoice depending on the country you are buying from. If you cannot find your country on the list at checkout or you are not given wire transfer as a payment method, you can submit your order via our invoice order form

Yes, you can. The course is in HTML5 format which will play on any new iOS, Android or Windows devices.

If you purchase five seats for the same online course at the same time, we will give you one extra seat for free on that same course (e.g. buy 5 get 6, buy 10 get 12, etc). The free seat is assigned manually after the order has been received.

The course is personal, that means you buy a license for one person. It is also really inexpensive compared to any traditional course with the same scope. If you have more than one person needing the course, please purchase another seat on the course.

The instructor has conducted training in the field for many years and continuously participates in authoring standards such as the ISO 13485 and ISO 14971. This ensures the instructor has access to leading edge knowledge and information which is the highest qualification available for teaching the course.

There are no pre-requisites for this course.
