Course overview
This online course is specifically tailored to make the requirements of the ISO 13485 as tangible and concrete as possible, so participants can confidently work in an organisation where ISO 13485 requirements apply. It introduces tools and methods on how to work successfully and efficiently within a quality management system.
Topics covered on the course include: the regulatory framework, the quality management system (QMS), documentation pitfalls, risk-based approach, management responsibility, product realization & traceability.
It is relevant for people working with QA related tasks in a medical device organisation (including authoring, reviewing and approving procedures) and those who are typically engaged in supporting QA related tasks such as CAPA, complaints, risk management, documentation and internal auditing.
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).

Benefits for you
Understand the meaning of the requirements
Reading the ISO 13485 standard is easy (albeit not particularly entertaining), but understanding the meaning of the requirements and how to implement them in an effective way is much harder.
This course gives you the keys to unlock the meaning of the requirements and the ways you need to work operationally to meet the requirements.
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.
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.
