Professionals with expertise in Pharmaceutical Solid Dosage Formulation are in high demand across the cannabis and pharmaceutical industries. This specialized training program provides an in-depth understanding of solid dosage technology and its applications in modern pharmaceutical and cannabis manufacturing environments.
The program explores key formulation methods, including direct compression, wet granulation, and dry granulation, while also addressing critical production processes such as drying, encapsulation, coating, and packaging. Participants will examine the latest technological advancements in manufacturing equipment and how product characteristics influence unit operations.
In addition to the technical aspects, the program incorporates real-world case studies on troubleshooting, process deviations, and investigational events, offering practical insights into quality system management (QMS), GMP inspection preparedness, and opportunities for process improvement.
Ideal for individuals aspiring to become Formulation Technologists, Formulation Technicians, Up-stream or Down-stream Technologists, or Validation Specialists, this program provides comprehensive training in solid dosage manufacturing, scale-up techniques, and regulatory compliance strategies.
Throughout the training, participants will engage with expert trainers and have the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance on how to apply learned skills effectively in their respective roles.
The course begins with foundational knowledge of solid dosage formulation, covering raw material dispensing, blending, and granulation techniques. From there, students explore unit operations such as compression, coating, and packaging, and learn how technological innovations impact product optimization.
Further modules introduce scale-up and technology transfer strategies, as well as the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) in oral solid dosage (OSD) production. The program also highlights the influence of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) on equipment and facility design, control strategies, and monitoring protocols. Tools and systems such as Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Process Performance Qualification (PPP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Corrective Maintenance Programs (CMP), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are also discussed in detail.
Upon successful completion, students will be equipped to identify optimal drug formulations, develop solid, liquid, and powder products, evaluate drug effectiveness, perform scale-up operations, and support technology transfer in regulated environments.
Graduates of this program are well-positioned for roles such as Formulators, Formulation Technicians, Formulation Technologists, Formulation Chemists, Formulation Scientists, Head of R&D, and Production Managers.
This training is recommended for individuals seeking a career in solid dosage formulation, particularly those aiming to become Formulation Technologists, Up-stream and Down-stream Technologists, or Validation Specialists within pharmaceutical or cannabis industries.
