MANAGEMENT FORUM- NSF HEALTH SCIENCES MEDICAL DEVICES CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME

Management Forum has teamed up with NSF Health Sciences, experts in medical device professional training, to bring certification programmes aimed at demonstrating the competence of development, regulatory and quality assurance personnel in the field of medical devices.

Management Forum has provided comprehensive training courses in Medical Device Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance for over a quarter of a century, and in recognition of our expertise in this field, NSF Health Sciences have approved several of our courses to enable our past, present and future delegates to gain a recognised certificate or diploma in Medical Device QARA (Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs).

NSF Health Sciences is best known for its industry leading Pharmaceutical Qualified Person (QP) training programme, now into its 27th year, and in 2011 launched the sister qualification in the medical devices sector leading to a Diploma in Medical Device Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs.

The diploma is an 8 module course enabling the student to undertake flexible training to learn the particular competencies necessary to act as a Qualified Person in the medical device industry. The qualifications offered by NSF Health Sciences specifically require you to demonstrate the application of your learning, therefore enabling students who have studied previous courses like those of Management Forum, to submit their training portfolio and utilise the training undertaken as a means of demonstrating prior learning. This means that there are various fast-track options for Management Forum clients wishing to achieve the Diploma in Medical Device Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance or Safety Engineering.

If you have attended courses with Management Forum, you will be able to receive credits towards the education requirements for several of the certificate and diploma modules, and you may only be required to register and undertake an assignment to demonstrate your application of learning, in order to achieve the Diploma.
In the future, specific Management Forum medical device courses will display a NSF Health Sciences Diploma/Certificate Fast-Track Approval logo, so that you know by attending the course it will count towards the NSF Health Sciences diploma and certificate programmes.
