The tutors are true experts with extensive knowledge of MDR and sterilization standards. Their practical approach helped me connect the theory to real-life scenarios in my company. I feel much more confident handling compliance documentation now.
The EO sterilization validation course was very detailed and aligned perfectly with ISO 11135. It gave me a clear understanding of validation, indicators, and regulatory expectations. This training is a must for quality professionals.
