CESPE Academy - Tableting 101
Description
This course focusses on giving a thorough introduction about the tableting process in an interactive manner. During this course, the basic aspects of the tableting equipment, tablet formulation, tablet quality, tableting process and compaction mechanisms and models will be clearly explained from a theoretical point-of-view. Furthermore, hands-on sessions will allow the trainee to get a feel with the tableting process and how this process can be influenced by divergent factors.
This course is divided into two separate modules:
- Module 1: Basic course: Introduction to tableting (1/2-day)
- Module 2: Specialized courses (1/2-day)
Programme
Remarks
Additional information
- One week prior to the course, the registered participants will receive further information (directions, parking availabilities).
- Course material will be made available (digital/physical) on the day of the course.
- Upon completion of the training, a certificate of attendance will be made available on the platform.
- Additionally, the participant will receive an evaluation form to provide feedback on this training.
