WHY PHARMACOVIGILANCE AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS TRAINING MATTERS
Pharmacovigilance specialists and regulatory affairs professionals are critical to drug development and patient safety.
Pharmaceutical companies desperately need qualified safety professionals who understand adverse event reporting, signal detection, risk management, and global regulatory submissions. Without proper training, aspiring PV specialists lack the practical skills sponsors demand from day one.
Generic safety courses teach surface-level theory without real case processing workflows. University programs cost $8,000 to $20,000 and take 6-12 months. Basic webinars provide completion certificates with no accreditation or employer recognition.
APVASC solves this gap with application-based training covering every task pharmaceutical companies expect. You graduate with CPD accreditation employers recognize for hiring and promotion in pharmacovigilance and regulatory affairs roles.
THREE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO BREAKING INTO PHARMACOVIGILANCE
|
No Clear Entry Path Into Drug Safety
You have healthcare, pharmacy, or life sciences background but no idea how to break into pharmacovigilance. Job postings require PV experience you cannot get without breaking into safety roles. You need formal training that bridges clinical knowledge to drug safety competencies.
|
Theory-Only Programs That Skip Practical Application
You completed basic safety courses that taught regulations but not real case processing. You still do not know how to assess causality, code adverse events in MedDRA, or write Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs). Employers want job-ready specialists who can process cases immediately.
|
No Credentials Pharmaceutical Companies Recognize
You attended webinars or workshops that gave attendance certificates with no accreditation. Pharmaceutical companies and CROs do not accept these for hiring. You need certification with CPD credits that satisfies compliance requirements and demonstrates verified competency.
|
Most aspiring pharmacovigilance specialists waste months trying different programs, spending thousands of dollars, and still not qualifying for safety positions.
If you do not get proper training now, you will watch peers with formal certification get hired while you remain stuck, missing out on $65,000 to $110,000+ annual salaries in one of pharma's fastest-growing fields.

WHY OTHER PROGRAMS FALL SHORT
|
University PV programs cost $8,000 to $20,000 with limited access.
You pay premium prices but receive no CPD credits, no lifetime access, and minimal practical case processing. Curriculum focuses on drug development theory, not safety operations skills pharma needs.
|
Basic safety webinars provide certificates with no value.
You complete 2-hour sessions covering elementary concepts with no depth, no accreditation, no employer recognition for actual hiring decisions.
|
Association memberships offer resources but not training.
You pay annual dues for access to guidelines and networking but receive no structured curriculum, no case simulations, no certification exam validating competency.

MEET YOUR LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Vinil Samuel Jayaseelan, MSc, leads the APVASC program with over 9 years of hands-on experience across pharmacovigilance, drug safety, and medical information operations supporting pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and healthcare organizations.
Former Drug Safety and Medical Information Specialist and Drug Safety Associate with extensive experience managing end-to-end adverse event reporting, case processing, and safety surveillance across clinical trials, post-marketing, literature, and consumer product settings. Processed and quality reviewed 2,000+ ICSRs across solicited, spontaneous, regulatory, and clinical trial sources, supported signal detection activities, and authored safety narratives aligned with ICH E2B, GVP, and global regulatory requirements. Experienced with FDA, MHRA, Health Canada, and EU regulatory frameworks, including audit support, CAPA participation, SOP authoring, and inspection readiness.
Vinil contributed to the design of APVASC by aligning the syllabus directly with real-world pharmacovigilance workflows, including case intake, MedDRA and WHO-DD coding, expedited and periodic reporting, quality control review, reconciliation activities, medical information handling, and safety system usage such as Oracle Argus and Medidata. The curriculum reflects the exact competencies expected in sponsor and CRO safety teams rather than theoretical overviews.
Senior pharmacovigilance mentors include drug safety managers, medical information leads, and regulatory safety professionals with 10+ years managing global adverse event operations, audits, and safety compliance. All mentors have trained and supervised safety associates and understand sponsor and regulatory expectations for PV roles from day one.
