The IVP (Inactivated Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals) IPT focuses on the formulation and sterile filling of vaccines and pharmaceuticals.

• You will also receive excellent guidance from an Operational Coach and benefit from a challenging, dynamic learning environment with ample opportunity for personal development.
