    Really good location with good lunch. This seminar was full of valuable topics.

    System Admin, IT

    This is my first experience with ComplianceOnline and I would definitely attend other seminars.

    Business System Analyst

    It was a knowledgeable seminar. Thanks for inviting me. I will attend upcoming seminars on ISO 13485 and Sterilization validation.

    Director of Quality

    I love to receive your email alerts. It keeps me updated with all valuable trainings. You have variety of offerings.

    Test Engineer

    All topics were informative and interesting. Database validation was the most valuable topic for me as I was hired for this job function. David is excellent and personable speaker; his knowledge and experience provide credibility and exceptional insight. Overall it was a wonderful event. Excellent choice of venue, materials and food was arranged by ComplianceOnline!!!

    Software and Training Support Specialist

    Thanks ComplianceOnline. Your website is very accessible and communicates well. It covers many compliance topics. For this seminar venue was convenient for west cost. Sometimes I cannot travel so attend those trainings online.

    Director, Validation

    David is an excellent instructor, very animated and has a great energy level. He was able to really engage with the attendees.

    Business System Analyst

    David is one of the best presenters I have seen. This subject was well presented by him.

    Manager, IT

    A former attendee of this seminar referred me. David was great with shuns while keeping everybody engaged.

    VP Global CRM & Business Solutions

    It was a great seminar. I like the topic Hazard/Risk Assessment. I do all other validation activities as David presented but didn't evaluate my specs for Risk but I can really see how this will benefit the whole validation process and am definitely adding it.

    Business System Analyst, Documentation

    I literally don't have any suggestions to improve your future seminars. I just love it. The presenter was very entertaining and informative.

    Test Engineer

    Thanks for coordinating this seminar. Customer service was very good, event was well arranged and good meal was a plus.

    Sr. Manager, IT

    I am more confident about ability to carry out Computer System Validation. David provides Comprehensive information in a way that makes sense. He's patient, passionate about what he does, and provides great examples! Thank You, David!

    Director Technical Services

    Thank you ComplianceOnline. Staff was very supportive, good choice of topic and content. Everything was valuable there. Thanks again!

    Director, Agile Systems and Processes

    You made the Complex Simple!!!

    Business Systems Manager

    It’s Great!!! The low and courts approach really put a new perspective on validation. The FDA isn't who you should be worried about.

    Project Engineer

    Lots of information provided during the seminar. Not presented in 'Traditional' Validation training. Not Cook Book.

    Software Quality Assurance

    Loved David's opinions - Made it a rich event. My suggestion to improve future events "please don't change a thing". Very best wishes!!!

    Global Quality Operations Analyst

    David helped us make our software development process efficient and helped us to understand how the regulations affect our customers.

    Software Vendor, Vancouver, BC

    Thanks for finding me and giving me the opportunity to take this session. I like all the topics, especially 21 CFR Part II Compliance. David Nettleton is a phenomenal instructor. The amount of interaction between the participants and presenters is ideal which help us to explore more. I would strongly recommend this seminar.

    Technical Writer

    I can tell David has a lot of experience with computer system validation because David bridged the gap between IT, QA, and Clinical.

    Contract Research Organization, Los Angeles, CA

    After we attended David's training, we implemented the procedures he recommended, and we just had our first FDA inspection with no 483s.

    Pharmaceutical company, San Francisco, CA

    I really enjoyed the class. I thought the information that David Nettleton gave us was real world examples of the way Computer System Validation should be done. I have suggested to a few of my colleagues to review the information that we were given at the Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483.

    Lisa Wyeth

    This was one of, if not the best, most informative, enjoyable trainings I've attended in my 11 year GMP career and I have been to many. David was simply an outstanding presenter. In this class, there was much participation and people learn from other's questions. Overall I had a very positive experience and brought back value to my company.

    Lead Auditor

    I enjoyed the seminar very much. I am hoping to be able to implement some of the things I learned in my own work efforts. I thought David was an excellent facilitator and he kept the pace moving along properly to cover all of the material in time.

    Sr. Validation Engineer

    I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar! The content of the seminar was excellent.

    Associate Director

    Seminar was very interactive and applied real time instances. 10 step process and Hazard Analysis were the most valuable topics for me. The support materials are very useful.

    QA/RA Manager

    I enjoyed the seminar very much. I am hoping to be able to implement some of the things I learned in my own work efforts. I thought David was an excellent facilitator and he kept the pace moving along properly to cover all of the material in time. If I had one criticism, it would be not understanding how I am going to change the culture of mine and other companies that spend so many dollars on validation projects that drag on and on. In David’s world, he can complete a project in a week of planning and implementation; in my world, people spend the first week just letting the concept of a project sink in, and then maybe get started within a month or so. I’d like to be able to expedite projects in the way he has laid out; we’ll see how it goes.

    Sr. Validation Engineer

    Electronic Signature topic was very valuable for me because we are implementing a document management system. The presenter is very knowledgeable; the amount of interaction between the participants and presenters was good.

    Information Technology Specialist

    The course was well prepared. I like the "10 steps of validation" topic, I will apply this to all of my programs. It was great to make new connections, informal conversations with other participants during the networking hours was very beneficial. Speaker was very interactive. I will recommend this course and ComplianceOnline.com to others.

    IT Director

    David was a dynamic presenter; I like his answers and interaction immensely. I really liked the session on "Reduction of Cost" and support materials.

    Project Manager

    I really enjoyed the class. I thought the information that David Nettleton gave us was real world examples of the way Computer System Validation should be done. I have suggested to a few of my colleagues to review the information that we were given at the Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483.
    The registration was an easy process. I forwarded the information to our Human Resources and they were able to handle it from the beginning.

    GCP Manager

    I really appreciate the presentation given on topic "The 10 step approach". Overall program was well organized and coordinated. Experience with speaker was good, it was an engaging presentation. Informal conversation with other participant was beneficial.

    Assistant Manager of Technical Development

    This was a very well seminar. The location, the food, the training material were all very much appreciated. David was a very charismatic, knows his stuff and presents the info in a way that making it entertaining.

    Software Quality Manager

    Great dynamics between instructor and participants. The program was well organized and coordinated. Large amount of data was delivered in short time period.

    Engineering Electrical Controls Manager

    Seminar was very good, informative and a lovely speaker making a tedious topic interesting. Overall the subjects are well chosen and the program was well organized and coordinated.

    Director - Global IT Governance

    The training was excellent and I encountered no difficulties either with the registration process or during the event. This was one of the better trainings that I have attended over the years.

    Sr. QA Engineer

    I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar! The content of the seminar was excellent and I would recommend it to others.

    Associate Director, Quality Operations

    This was one of, if not the best, most informative, enjoyable trainings I've attended in my 11 year GMP career and I have been to many. David was simply an outstanding presenter. I think the thing that sets him apart from others, in addition to his obvious expertise and knowledge in computer validation, is that he is what today I feel is rare: a good teacher. David as a teacher is very engaging. The normal nervousness of attendees has little chance of survival in David's class. He breaks through the ice, gets people comfortable and maintains a high level of professionalism. This creates an open atmosphere where people are free to think and ask questions. I generally am not afraid to ask questions and many times I feel alone in that. But in this class, there was much participation and people learn from other's questions. I attribute this to David's personality and approach to getting attendees involved. In terms of improvements, the only thing I would change would be to have the lunch in a room where people could network (i.e. round tables) vs. coming back into the training room where you sat next to one person. The venue itself was great and the food was fantastic. The Ritz Carlton is a great location. Their service was also excellent. Overall I had a very positive experience and brought back value to my company. I just wish I had more of a chance to network with the other attendees, although I did connect with a few.

    Lead Auditor/Sr. Laboratory Compliance Specialist

    It was a very good experience, the presenter had very good knowledge on the topic but I would added more time to perform a “mini validation” using his templates so that more questions will come that will allow us to learn more.
    He explained very well the concepts and gave good examples however is when we do things by our selves that we better understand and make the concepts "ours" The place and lightening was fine, there was no noise interrupting.

    Software Validation Engineer

    I was very confident in David Nettleton's knowledge on the subject matter.

    Research & Development Associate

    I had registered for a seminar but unfortunately I was not able to attend. The company was very understanding and extremely helpful. I plan on attending a future event soon.

    Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium

    Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium

    Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.

    Legoland

    Legoland

    Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.

    San Diego Zoo Safari Park

    San Diego Zoo Safari Park

    The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.

    Coronado Island

    Coronado Island

    Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.

    Balboa Park

    Balboa Park

    Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
