Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA)

Introduction

Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA) is one of the most critical components of Quality Management Systems. It ensures that problems are not only corrected but prevented from recurring. CAPA strengthens organisational reliability, reduces operational risks, and supports compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, API, GxP, and regulatory frameworks across Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Manufacturing, Construction, Logistics, Healthcare, and Government sectors.

This course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to identify non‑conformities, analyse root causes, implement corrective actions, verify effectiveness, and establish preventive controls. The GTMCS CAPA course delivers a structured, practical, and industry‑aligned learning experience designed to improve system performance and drive continuous improvement.
