Training Management in Swat iQua Suite is not a general learning management system. It does one job for GMP: prove that each person was trained on the version of the SOP in force before they did the work it covers.
Built from the SOP in force
When an SOP becomes effective in SOP & Document Control, it prompts the creation of a training. Training can only be created from an approved, effective SOP version, so the training record always points to a controlled document. When a newer version of the SOP takes effect, training on the previous version is superseded.
Read, accept, assess
Trainees read and accept the SOP, then complete an assessment. Grading happens entirely on the server, the answers are never sent to the browser and the time limit is enforced by the server. The pass mark and number of attempts are set per site and frozen for each participant when they are assigned, so changing the site settings later never alters a past result.
Training interlocks on the shop floor
- A batch step in the electronic batch record cannot start unless the operator is trained on the SOPs linked to that step.
- Dispensing checks training for both the dispenser and the verifier.
- Packaging checks training at start and completion.
These interlocks are what turn a training record into a control. Training due dates appear on the compliance calendar and in the daily overdue digest, and only internal users can be training participants.
