What should GLP training records demonstrate?

• A. Records showing completion and currency of GLP principles, SOPs, QA processes, data integrity practices
• B. Training is optional
• C. Training only for new hires
• D. Training records are not required

Answer: (A)

GLP training records should demonstrate that staff have completed the required GLP training and that this training is current, covering GLP principles, standard operating procedures, QA processes, and data integrity practices. Keeping documented proof of both completion and currency shows that personnel understand their responsibilities, can perform tasks correctly, and that the facility can verify compliance during audits.

Other statements don’t fit because GLP requires documented, ongoing training for all personnel involved in GLP work, not something optional or limited to new hires, and records are indeed required to prove compliance and competence.
