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.

Testimonials
We loved your training at Niche!
“Really enjoyed the training session over the last 3 days, John was a great presenter who did really well considering he had an
audience from all over the UK…infact the world! I’m sure the face to face/classroom style presentation would have been more
interactive as I certainly missed being able to bounce off others but this is no fault of John or the course contents. Learned so
much from the past few days, more than I actually realised that I would. Thank you!” February 2021
“Very clear, simple to follow. Interactive. Helpful.”

Pharmacy Consulting has been performing consultancy work for Vygon for several years, during that time they have provided us with a very professional and efficient service. PCL helped Vygon obtain their original Wholesale Dealers Licence and have provided Responsible Person (RP) support to our Quality Team ever since. PCL guided us successfully through our MHRA inspection. More recently, Jackie delivered GDP update training sessions for me and my deputy when I started in my new role as Head of QA/RA. I would recommend PCL to any organisation that needs support in their pharmaceutical operations.

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!

“The API training course provides a good framework foundation focused on API distribution.
I only wish I had found the API course much earlier, it would have saved me months of puzzling on some issues relating API importation and distribution. I am a novice when it comes to Medicinal product regulatory compliance. For months I have been rolling in the Green Guide but the Green Guide focuses mostly on Finished Form medicine, so I end up with just as many questions at the beginning, albeit a different set of questions. The API course finally answers my fundamental questions on API distribution, and yes I have a plenty of Q&A time with the trainer which is of great benefit to me.
I am so pleased with the API course, I immediately start working with one of their consultants on specific issues I face in my company.

“Steve is a fantastic trainer with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to be able to apply that knowledge to real life situations. Fantastic course extremely well delivered. Thank you.” – MM, Kuehne+Nagel – Cogent RP Training – April 2024
“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

Both Jackie and Sandeep made it really easy to understand the content – they encouraged discussion but also made sure that focus was given to areas specific to the attendees.
Overall I enjoyed the course and found it far less overwhelming than I expected.
