Comprehensive online GLP training aligned with Health Canada requirements, OECD Principles of GLP, and international standards — trusted by Canadian pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical professionals. Self paced. 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates. Inspection ready training records.
Canada has a well established regulatory framework for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) that is closely harmonised with international standards through the Organisation for Economic Co operation and Development (OECD). Health Canada requires that non clinical safety studies submitted in support of drug applications and submissions be conducted in accordance with GLP principles.
Key Regulatory Frameworks:
Studies that are considered to be core battery or pivotal as per ICH guidelines, Health Canada guidelines, or other international guidelines should be conducted under GLP conditions
Health Canada requires GLP recognition for both domestic and foreign sites
Canadian sites are expected to provide proof of inspection by the Standards Council of Canada
Certain non clinical studies may not need to adhere to GLP depending on the importance of the studies and whether any claims are made based on such studies
| Regulatory Authority | Framework | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Health Canada | Food and Drug Regulations | Non clinical safety data for drug submissions |
| Health Canada | GLP Policy Directive | Sponsors submitting non clinical data in Clinical Trial Applications |
| OECD | OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997) | Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) |
| Standards Council of Canada (SCC) | GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority | OECD recognised monitoring body |
All courses are self paced, available online, and include 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates with verifiable IDs — accepted as documented training records during Health Canada and other regulatory inspections.
This comprehensive training program offers an in depth examination of the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), as revised in 1997. Tailored for professionals in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology sectors, the curriculum addresses the complete range of GLP requirements, including organizational responsibilities, quality assurance, study conduct, data integrity, and archival management.
The program equips participants with practical knowledge of how GLP facilitates the production of reliable, reproducible, and internationally recognized non clinical safety data, thereby supporting regulatory compliance, safeguarding human health, and enabling the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) in global markets.
This training program defines the complete knowledge and performance requirements for personnel within a nonclinical laboratory testing facility to become certified internal auditors for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) as prescribed in the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (as revised in 1997). The program integrates GLP requirements for single site and multi site studies with internal auditing practices based on ISO 19011.
Enroll in GLP Internal Auditor Certification (OECD Focused)This self study training program defines the complete knowledge and performance requirements for personnel within a nonclinical laboratory testing facility to become certified internal auditors for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) as prescribed in 21 CFR Part 58. The program integrates GLP requirements for nonclinical laboratory studies with internal auditing practices based on ISO 19011.
Enroll in GLP Internal Auditor Certification (FDA Focused)This comprehensive training program is designed to provide individuals with a thorough understanding of ISO 19011:2026, "Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems." The program covers all aspects of the standard, including the principles of auditing, managing an audit programme, conducting management system audits, and evaluating the competence of individuals involved in the audit process.
The program addresses both traditional on site auditing methods and remote auditing methods, including guidance from ISO/IEC TS 17012. It covers first party (internal) audits, second party (external provider) audits, and provides useful guidance for external audits conducted for purposes other than third party management system certification.
Enroll in ISO 19011:2026GLP training is essential for all personnel involved in the generation, management, and regulatory submission of non clinical safety data in Canada.
Health Canada, through the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as the GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority, conducts inspections of test facilities to verify adherence to GLP principles. Inspection findings can have serious consequences:

Yes. Health Canada does not mandate a specific training delivery format. What matters is that training is documented, role appropriate, and effective. Our 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates provide verifiable proof of training that Health Canada and SCC inspectors accept during inspections.
The OECD Focused course is based on the OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997), which are applicable internationally and are the basis for Health Canada's GLP requirements. The FDA Focused course is based on 21 CFR Part 58, which is specific to FDA requirements. Both courses provide comprehensive internal auditor training.
Completion of basic GLP awareness training of at least four hours or equivalent on the job experience, and at least six months of experience in a nonclinical laboratory testing facility.
Yes. We offer corporate and group enrollment options for teams of all sizes. Contact us for a custom quote.
All courses include lifetime access — study at your own pace, on your own schedule.
Yes. Each certificate includes a unique verifiable ID that can be checked at gxptrainings.com/verify-certificate/
