Program Overview: What is Computer System Validation (CSV) and GAMP 5?
Computer System Validation (CSV) & GAMP 5 is a 24-hour program for validation, QA, and IT teams in GxP-regulated industries. It covers CSV foundations and the GxP landscape, the GAMP 5 framework and software categories, risk-based validation, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification with 21 CFR Part 11, and test execution with traceability and deviation/CAPA. The focus is right-sized documentation and evidence that stands up to inspection.
Training runs across six modules with six practice sessions built on real qualification work. Participants categorize systems under GAMP 5, write requirements, plan risk-based validation, execute IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, and handle deviations through CAPA. Instructors coach each exercise, tightening traceability from requirement to test and the judgment of how much evidence is enough. The program closes with a capstone end-to-end CSV validation package.
Inspectors do not fail systems; they fail the evidence around systems. Missing traceability, deviations without CAPA, Part 11 gaps in electronic records: each one turns a working system into a finding. This program teaches teams to build inspection-ready validation: requirements that trace to tests, risk-based effort that is defensible, supplier evidence leveraged instead of redone, and deviations closed properly.
The capstone produces the binder inspectors actually ask for: an end-to-end CSV validation package for a representative GxP system. It contains the validation plan, requirements with traceability to IQ/OQ/PQ evidence, Part 11 control records, executed test protocols, and a deviation log with CAPAs closed out. Each team walks its package the way an inspector would, defending the risk rationale behind every scoping decision, and keeps the package as the house template for the next system validation.
Over six modules, teams progress from GxP regulatory foundations to a full capstone validation package. The program emphasizes right-sized documentation, supplier leverage, traceability from requirement to test, and evidence that stands up to regulatory inspection.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Computer system validation sits after GMP and data integrity, because validation proves that systems handling GxP data are fit for use. Validated systems then support a working quality system, where CAPA turns deviations into lasting fixes.

Connect Computer System Validation With Risk-Based Requirements and Traceable Test Evidence
Edstellar guides regulated-system teams from CSV and GAMP 5 foundations to qualification, testing, and deviation handling. Participants classify sample systems, define scope, and develop validation records through connected exercises. The final package review examines whether risks, requirements, tests, and corrective actions form an explainable chain of evidence.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore computerized-system responsibilities and validation familiarity to identify gaps in GxP scope, software categorization, requirement traceability, and qualification evidence.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish CSV and GAMP 5 foundations before risk and requirements, qualification and electronic-record controls, then deviations and the integrated validation package.
- Step 03
Align
We align validation instruction with QA, engineering, IT, and operations roles, matching system categories and foundational support to the cohort's regulated environment.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample application stacks, requirements, and failed tests to relevant GxP systems without using confidential regulated records or modifying operational systems.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants assess risks, execute qualification protocols, and document deviations, receiving feedback on traceability, objective evidence, electronic-record controls, and corrective-action linkage.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the validation package for justified scope, risk-linked requirements, traceable test outcomes, and consistently documented deviations and corrective actions.
