BANGKOK, October 12, 2018 – WCA and ASC Associates Ltd are pleased to announce a strategic partnership designed to enhance WCA’s continuing commitment for compliance and logistical innovation in the Pharmaceutical sector.

ASC’s suite of training includes Good Distribution Practices for Medicinal Products, which has been designed for the logistics industry to enhance compliance within the supply chain.

Continuing our support with Virgin Atlantic Cargo on development of their Lifesciences Vertical, we have recently been focusing on providing in-depth training on the GDP Guidelines. So far, 47 staff from several departments have completed our Certificated One Day GDP Course, which provides an extensive introduction to the EU Good Distribution Guidelines.

We have been thrilled to see the enthusiasm and interest of the Virgin team, which has led to some excellent results in the post-course exam. All passes, with over 80% achieving the highest grade of Distinction, and the rest following closely behind. We hope the entire team is proud of this.

Feedback from the course delegates has also been really positive, with every single person agreeing that the course was relevant to their role, and that they learned new skills. This is what ASC are passionate about – helping staff from throughout the entire supply chain understand GDP and how it relates to their individual roles.
