Certificate in Bioanalytical Method Validation & Study Sample Analysis

Course Description

This self-paced professional training program is designed to provide a clear and practical understanding of LC–MS/MS bioanalytical method validation in compliance with ICH M10, US FDA, and EMA regulatory guidelines.

The course covers core validation parameters, regulatory expectations, and best practices followed in CROs, pharmaceutical companies, and bioanalytical laboratories. It is ideal for learners who want to build a strong foundation in bioanalytical method validation without requiring prior extensive industry experience.

Through structured video modules, real-world explanations, and regulatory insights, participants will gain the confidence to understand, interpret, and support LC–MS/MS validation activities in regulated environments.

• (ICH M10 Aligned | Self-Paced Fast Track)
• Total Duration: 3–4 Hours
• Mode: Self-paced (video + reading + quiz)
• Level: Advanced / Regulatory
• Certification: Yes (Online Exam)

COURSE OBJECTIVE (Fast-Track)

By the end of 4 hours, learners will be able to:

• Understand the full bioanalytical lifecycle (development → validation → study analysis)
• Apply ICH M10 acceptance criteria correctly
• Make regulatory-defensible decisions during runs, failures, and reanalysis
• Pass CRO interviews / internal certification / regulatory audits
