FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

The AQP Flagship Path is built for Final Signatories, Medical Affairs Directors, Heads of Regulatory, Compliance Officers, and senior medical or scientific professionals preparing for signatory responsibilities. It assumes you already know the basics of the ABPI Code — this is the structured route to mastery.

How long does it take?

The programme is paced over 12 weeks — one module per week — with roughly 1–2 hours of study per module. You have full 12-month access, so you can move faster or slower depending on your schedule. Most learners complete in 8–14 weeks.

What’s included?

12 modules across the entire 2024 ABPI Code, 60+ workshop case studies with reveal-answers, one 60-minute 1:1 mentorship session with Anzal, the annual capstone refresh covering recent PMCPA cases, downloadable cheatsheets and checklists for every module, and a completion certificate. You also get 12-month access to the full PMCPA case library (2,000+ cases).

How does the 1:1 mentorship work?

Once you’ve completed at least 6 modules, you can book a 60-minute video call with Anzal directly. Bring your own materials — a real job bag, a tricky ad board, an SOP draft, or a PMCPA case you’re defending — and we’ll work through it together. It’s mentorship, not a lecture.

What if my company won’t pay? programme is still affordable as a personal CPD investment. We provide a VAT invoice you can submit to finance, and we’re happy to write a justification email for your line manager — just ask.

What’s the refund policy?

14-day no-questions-asked refund from the date of purchase. After 14 days, refunds are reviewed case-by-case if you’ve completed less than 25% of the programme. We’d rather help you complete the course than refund — reach out and we’ll figure out the right next step.

Is this an officially-accredited AQP qualification?

No. The AQP role itself isn’t an ABPI-issued certification — companies appoint Final Signatories internally. This programme is structured training and CPD that prepares you for the role, gives you a defensible audit trail of structured learning, and a completion certificate you can show to your employer. Many companies accept this as evidence of signatory readiness.
