H² Academy by QFINITY: four levels of AI training in the GxP environment, building toward the goal
H² Academy
H² Academy by QFINITY

Learn AI in GxP systematically and apply it competently.

The H² Academy by QFINITY is an e-learning program for AI in GxP training with 18 modules on four levels, recorded by two trainers who have contributed to ISPE GAMP guides. Experts and teams in QA, IT and the business units across pharma and medtech learn the same terms and methods, at their own pace and with a knowledge check for each module. Three access options lead from the entry level through the leadership training to the full program with certificate.

Program overview

What does the AI in GxP e-learning program include?

The AI in GxP Enablement Training Program of the H² Academy comprises 18 core modules on four levels, framed by an introduction and a closing reflection. Each module consists of a narrated presentation, a learning letter and a knowledge check. A final assessment on the cross-cutting topics concludes the full program. The time commitment for the full program is 40 to 50 hours. Of that, about 15 hours go to the narrated modules, 20 to 25 hours to reading the accompanying materials and 5 to 10 hours to assessment preparation and knowledge checks.

The starting point

Why does the use of AI in GxP need a shared frame of reference?

In projects, we see QA, IT and the business units use the same terms differently, and AI initiatives stall at the pilot stage. For computerized systems used in GMP activities, the current Annex 11 already requires appropriately qualified personnel. Article 4 of the AI Act additionally obliges providers and deployers to take measures for the AI literacy of their staff. The ISPE GAMP guide on AI describes a methodological approach to developing and using AI in regulated environments. The program provides a shared professional foundation for this work.

  • 01

    The same terms

    Everyone involved learns from the same curriculum on the life cycle, quality risks and responsibilities, and makes decisions on common ground.

  • 02

    Understanding opportunities and limits

    The program shows what AI is suited to in GxP and where its use depends on specific conditions, such as data quality, explainability and Human Oversight.

  • 03

    Leadership and governance

    Managers and executives learn to steer the use of AI through governance committees, an AI maturity assessment and a prioritized portfolio of use cases.

  • 04

    Documenting AI literacy measures

    The confirmation of completion or certificate documents the knowledge checks each participant has passed. On request, companies also receive a learning progress report.

  • 05

    Verifying the AI subsystem, validating the system

    Participants learn to verify the AI subsystem against its specification and to validate the overall system against its intended use as part of their CSV practice.

  • 06

    Putting the regulations in context

    You will be able to distinguish between what the AI Act requires, what the draft Annex 22 provides for and what methodology the GAMP guide on AI offers. This includes what the Annex 22 draft recommends on collaboration between the business, QA, data science and IT.

Format and platform

An e-learning program with knowledge checks and a training record.

The H² Academy runs on a learning platform in your browser, on desktop and mobile alike.

  • GDPR-compliant payment processing with 256-bit encryption
  • VAT invoice, including for bookings made through your company
  • Updates when new guidance is published, such as the final version of Annex 22
The certificate

Participants who pass all knowledge checks and the final assessment receive a personal H² Academy certificate stating the program and the completion date. Companies can add it to their training records. It is a training record, neither an ISPE certification nor evidence that your systems are compliant.

The trainers

Trainers who have contributed to the industry's guides.

Both have contributed to ISPE GAMP guides and know AI in GxP first-hand from projects and audits.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions about the H² Academy.

    Article 4 of the AI Act, as amended by the Digital Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744), requires providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures that promote AI literacy among their staff. Article 4 does not require a particular certificate or a guarantee that every individual reaches a specific proficiency level. The measures must nevertheless take prior knowledge, the context of use and the people affected into account. Each access option can form part of such measures, documented by knowledge checks and a confirmation of completion or certificate.

    No. The draft Annex 11 revision provides for system-specific training for everyone working with computerized systems in GMP activities, matched to their tasks and access rights. The program creates a shared understanding of AI in GxP. Training on your specific system then builds on it.

    More than AI basics. Anyone who uses or evaluates AI in GxP processes needs a shared understanding of intended use, risk management, governance, supplier assessment and validation, in QA, IT and the business alike. The Initiate level therefore lays that foundation for every role. The Develop, Standardize and Optimize levels deepen that knowledge, up to generative and agentic AI.

    Each module ends with a knowledge check. For Initiate and the leadership access option, we issue a confirmation of completion with a module list. The full program ends with a final assessment and the H² Academy certificate. It does not carry any external certification. On request, companies receive a report on their participants' progress.

    General AI training explains the technology and its limits. In GxP environments, regulated companies must also meet what the regulations require: qualified personnel under Annex 11, quality risk management, data integrity, supplier assessment and validation of the overall system. Along the way, the 18 modules follow the ISPE GAMP Guide on AI. The modules are also useful outside GxP, for example for obligations under the AI Act.
