FAQs

Honest answers to questions validation consultants really ask.

Do I need a master's degree?

For most validation roles, yes, usually at master's level.

Is validation mostly desk work?

Can I specialise in one type of validation?

Yes. You can focus on equipment, cleaning or computer system validation, or work across all three.

Can I switch into validation from another role?

Often, yes. Consultants move into validation from QA, lab or engineering backgrounds.

Do I have a say in which project I do?

Yes. We propose concrete projects, you approve or decline. Only then do you meet the client.
