“For someone with a bare minimal knowledge of WDA this course helped understand the legal, general and business complexities quite well.” Cogent Online Training – March 2021
“I would like to thank Brian for coming up to us – he made a difficult subject easy to understand and also helped us with real life
scenarios – not just following the curriculum, which whilst hurt our timescales – was much more beneficial for us.” Cogent (Face to Face) Training – November 2021
“Good informative training, very helpful for the future.” GDP Online Training – May 2021
I found the information very useful and interesting. I will use the information given in the future for orders I do and also to check all relevant procedures that are needed.
“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.
.” Yu Wang, Donglun Ltd – API Training, July 2021
“I found this course much more interesting and accessible than i thought it would be. Nicely paced with enough information to be challenging and thought provoking but not overwhelming. A few of the initials could do with explaining though.”

I`m so glad I`ve decided to have the training face to face, it really makes a difference in terms of engagement.” – Cogent RP Training – November 2024

Just wanted to say thank you for the training last week, was education and fun, and it was great to be able to spend time with a professional auditor.
Great training session provided by Jackie. Could consider providing additional training material (sample forms and documents) for clients apart from the GDP guidelines.
Very good informative trainer, excellent delivery on a rather dull topic. Kept our interest well which helped with learning. Jackie answered every questions I had. Thank you

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!

“Great delivery by Brian, thought his presentation was well spoken and easy to follow, impressed with his knowledge on tricky Q&A” – GDP, October 2023
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”.
“The training was well structured and everything covered was relevant and will be easily applied to our working environment. The trainers were very knowledgeable and ensured there was interaction from the group throughout. The time length of the course was perfect and this helped with keeping the group engaged. Would highly recommend this course/structure.” – VR – UHB NHS Logistics, CD Training, September 2024
“Lot’s of information and keeps you engaged.”
Abbey Tullett – Course Rating 10/10

“Steven ensured class participation and sharing of case studies within our group. Kept everyone motivated. It was interesting for me to see what my customers need to do to remain GDP compliant after delivering Imports and before collecting their Exports. ” – JS, Nippon Express (UK) Ltd, Cogent, January 2025
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.
“Training was well laid out and followed a great structure. The trainer was very very good and very attentive”
The course is very informative and comprehensive which covers all aspects of EU GDP guidelines.

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
“I really enjoyed the course and will recommend it highly to anyone planning to apply for WDA or training to become RP. The Tutor was very knowledgeable and experienced. I learnt so much from the training so I can only thank you.”

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.
