Type: Classroom Training Course
Includes Webinar 
Description
This highly interactive workshop gives participants hands-on experience in applying practical techniques
and solutions to solve computerized systems compliance challenges. Participants will discuss and analyze case
studies, apply newly acquired knowledge to hypothetical case-study systems, and have the opportunity to
discuss their own real-life challenges with other participants and an expert trainer. Participants should
come prepared to work in groups to devise workable and creative solutions to realistic problems and case
study scenarios, facilitated by the instructor.

Continuing Education Units
ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses,
including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of
achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or
profession.
Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs
are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as
satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four
weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
