Licence Holder Training
Is your licence holder fully aware of their responsibilities?
Whilst it is common knowledge that the Responsible Person has a lot of responsibilities when named on the licence, the Licence holder is also named on the licence and also has responsibilities.
In some cases the Licence Holder may be someone in management who is a little more removed from the day to day activities of the business. The MHRA will expect to see the licence holder at the inspection, and they will expect them to know all their responsibilities.
We offer a short training session which has been created specifically for licence holders. We look at the legislation and what it means for the licence holder.
Do you know your responsibilities as the Licence Holder?
When you have an MHRA inspection, the inspectors will be expecting you to know all your responsibilities as the licence holder.
This course details your responsibilities, and has been designed for higher level managers and directors in the industry who may not be directly involved in the day to day running of the warehouse, to help them to obtain a more in-depth understanding of their roles and responsibilities as the licence holder.
Licence Holder Training Includes
During the course we will cover, but will not be limited to the key subject areas listed below.
- Responsibilities of the Licence Holder
- Responsibilities of the RP
- Comparison between the responsibilities of the Licence Holder and the RP
- Tasks which are the Licence Holder’s specific responsibility
Our Licence Holder Training is a 2 hour session that is hosted by one of our RPs in a small group.

“Enjoyed the course. Informative and interesting. Presented in an engaging way that encouraged questions and dialogue. Would recommend it to others” – Cogent Responsible Person Training – February 2024
Having just completed the very informative API and Clinical Trail course (thank you Shankar) I was reminded of the traps we can fall into whereby we try to keep ourselves in our little boxes. At the MHRA symposium, I have heard several times comments such as:- “no, I’m not doing the GMP day as it’s not relevant to me” or “GDP? Oh, that doesn’t apply to us as we are manufacturers”. I am sure these comments were made well out of the earshot of MHRA personnel and on the face of it seem harmless enough, though clearly wrong.
I truly believe that we should all expand our knowledge and understanding as much as possible, and certainly where there are crossovers with our speciality. For a Pharmacist or wholesaler, knowing more about GMP, APIs and Clinical Trials must be useful in our ability to fulfil our obligations in our own field. Yes, some aspects of GMP are very technical but there are big parts of it that can be used positively in the GDP arena.
As my exasperated tutors used to say during my pharmacy degree, “you will only get the most out of the topic and excel, if you read around the subject”.
We loved your training at Niche!

Dawn ran a very informative session about GDP guidance and the role of the Responsible Person. This helped me understand further about my role as the Responsible Person and how to stay 100% compliant according to the guidelines. I also picked up key points on what to look for when looking at potential suppliers and warehouse facilities. All together an excellent session, worth every penny!

Anna Drys – Course rating 9/10
“It is always difficult to provide and undertake virtual training. Wes did well getting through all the material and encouraged
interaction among the group. This was difficult but at times good discussion did open up. There were no technical difficulties in
terms of the training provision, and everything ran to time, if not a bit quicker than expected. I did enjoy it and remained engaged throughout.
There was a lot of content and to begin with I felt a little overwhelmed and anxious about the five assessments
looming at the end. However Wes reassured us that we had the info we would be needing and rather than worry about taking notes, better to listen and take in the lesson. Which worked. I gained some useful insights which I will take back to work. I go back feeling much better equipped to aid the RP with our QMS.” November 2020

I found the course on Training to be a responsible person to be a very well thought and structured course which gave me the roles and resources to come away understanding the training given. It was very informative, topical and saved me time and money trying to wade through a minefield of work to become a responsible person – Jackie is highly qualified and delivers an excellent course, would highly recommend to anyone looking at wholesaling.
The training was delivered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The elements of the training were explained in a clear and concise manner and the course was tailored around your individual requirements. The day was enjoyable and I would not hesitate to use your company again.
