Good Manufacturing Practices for the Home Artisan/Crafter
Foundational Development of your GMP Binder-Certificate of Completion
Description
As home artisans, crafters and product developers, our test kitchens are our laboratories; for culinary creations, to formulate natural products, to create therapeutic teas or enticing spice blends. Before upscaling to market, the specific platform you identify with and operate from requires Good Manufacturing Practices, your Standardized Protocol for the Responsible Accountability of Practices. This course will assist you in the understanding of GMP for a home-based platform, allowing you to kickstart your critical thinking for small-batch product manufacturing. The importance of GMP is vital to product development for artisans and crafters that operate out of their home, with the FDA constantly changing its guidelines on a regular basis. This introductory course will teach you how to construct a Foundational GMP Binder for your test kitchen that will need to be kept current as long as your products are on the market.
This course is NOT industry specific, meaning the foundational components for GMP will be covered and NOT focused on a specific industry operating platform. You will select a product to use as a model for the construction of your GMP Binder. This will provide you a deeper understanding of how to apply GMP in your test kitchen and for your product development. Your showcased product will serve as a working example for your future products and to demonstrate your understanding of GMP for your test kitchen.
You will receive a certificate after you complete this course. THIS IS NOT A CERTIFICATION FOR GMP
