Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA) Training

The Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA) Course by Whitehall Training provides a strong foundation in quality management systems, focusing on identifying, investigating, and resolving nonconformities in regulated environments. Designed for life sciences professionals, the course aligns with key regulatory requirements, including FDA 21 CFR 820.100, ISO 13485, ICH Q10, and EU GMP. Core topics include CAPA fundamentals, the difference between corrective and preventive actions, and the role of CAPA in ensuring patient safety, product quality, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement. The course also covers CAPA requirements such as data analysis, root cause investigation, action planning, implementation, and documentation. A key focus is the structured 7-step CAPA process, along with root cause analysis tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams, FMEA, and Fault Tree Analysis. It also emphasizes SMART action planning, effectiveness verification, and proper CAPA closure. The course builds practical, inspection-ready skills in documentation, investigation, and compliance, ensuring that learners are prepared to support audits and maintain an effective CAPA system.
