The CPIP credential is the first professional certification program for the pharmaceutical industry covering development though manufacturing, based on an international, knowledge and skills competency standard…and an industry and government-wide initiative to drive innovation and improve drug product quality that can help you!
Why certification?
One of the best ways you can ensure career growth is by pursuing industry-recognized certifications. Earning professional designations can provide numerous benefits, including improved career prospects and enhanced earning power.
“The CPIP credential really became helpful on a project as I worked with a client to develop a model of their entire production process.”
“We have used my CPIP as part of our statement of qualifications for our firm when competing for work related to the biopharmaceutical industry. I feel that the credential has given our firm greater credibility as an expert in the industry.”
Damian Gerstner, CPIP
