While this course title is designed as a stand-alone course, many other courses may benefit personnel working in this industry. Examples: other GMP courses, warehousing and distribution courses, product recalls, handling of complaints, etc., designed for pharmaceuticals, maybe useful for manufacturing personnel and quality Managers working in the Cosmetic industry. Also, there are many combined pharmaceutical-cosmetic products and these are likely to be regulated as drug products (the term cosmeceuticals is not actually recognised by many Regulatory Authorities; instead, these are considered drug products or combined products).
