Thirty-seven years on the other side of the questions

Not a course assembled from secondary sources. One career spent inside FDA-regulated industry, turned into something you can learn from in order.

Why the Academy exists

I spent thirty-seven years watching good companies get cited for requirements they had already read. Not careless companies - companies with degrees on the wall, procedures in binders, and people who genuinely cared. I walked their floors, wrote their procedures, sat at the table for their 483 responses, and worked with them through the Warning Letters that followed. The pattern never changed: the requirement was in plain sight the whole time. What was missing was the ability to see their own operation the way the investigator standing in the lobby was about to see it.

That perspective took me decades to build, one facility at a time. I built this Academy so it doesn't have to take you that long. Everything here - the videos, the handouts, the SOPs, the mock inspection checklist, 21Regulus AI - exists to hand you that perspective in a structured order, so you can find the weak link while it is still a correction instead of an observation.

Where the material comes from

Not a course assembled from secondary sources. The distillation of one career spent inside FDA-regulated industry - as a regulatory and quality professional, and as the consultant companies call when they are in trouble. When a module describes a pitfall, it is one actually witnessed. When it offers a fix, it is one actually implemented and proven under inspection.

  • Hundreds of manufacturers audited. Not read about - walked, inspected, and assessed firsthand, across industries and facility types.
  • Thousands of procedures drafted. The documents that make a system function under inspection - not the ones that look good in a binder and collapse under questioning.
  • Quality systems built for hundreds of clients. Designed, implemented, and made inspection-ready across pharma, devices, supplements, food, tobacco, cosmetics, and biologics.
  • 483 responses and Warning Letters resolved. We know what the agency accepts because we have written those responses and negotiated those outcomes.

What we teach, and what we refuse to teach

Every module follows one sequence: the regulation in plain English, the investigator's view of your facility, the pitfalls, a real Warning Letter tied to that requirement, and the fix. When a module names a pitfall it is one actually witnessed. When it offers a fix it is one actually implemented and proven under inspection.

We do not teach memorisation. The full text of every FDA regulation is public and free, and the same subparts keep getting cited at companies that had already read them. The text was never the hard part.

What we are not

No FDA affiliation, and no certificates

The Academy is an educational resource. It is not endorsed, supported, sponsored or promoted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and no member of our team is a current or former FDA investigator or employee.
  • No accreditation body certifies FDA compliance training, and this product contains no completion certificates. What it produces is an e-signed training record.
  • Nothing here is legal advice or a consulting engagement, and no plan includes consulting hours.
  • Regulatory requirements change. Verify current requirements against the regulation as published by the FDA.
  • Video content is produced using AI-generated presenters.

See whether it holds up

The fastest way to judge any of this is to watch a module. Start the three-day trial, or look at what the plans cost.
