What our students say.
“My experience learning Regulatory Affairs through Pharmers Academy has been both grounding and transformative. What stood out most was the RAWP component — real-life dossiers, client work, SAHPRA submission processes and stakeholder engagement. This hands-on approach equipped me with bankable, real-world skills and the confidence to navigate a dynamic pharmaceutical industry.”

Quality Pharmacist · RASCP & RAWP
“From the start, the course immersed me in a true learning-by-doing approach — reading and interpreting guidelines, applying them to practical tasks, and refining my work through feedback from the team. Beyond regulatory knowledge, it taught me how to learn. It played a key role in helping me secure my current position as a Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance Pharmacist.”

“Enrolling in the RASCP short course was one of the best decisions I've made for my professional development. The instructors were highly knowledgeable, engaging, and eager to share their expertise, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The real-world assignments made learning truly immersive.”
Ame Prinsloo
RA Pharmacist · RASCP
“My experience at Pharmers Academy has been nothing short of amazing. With little to no exposure to the regulatory field, they provided me with a good foundation through the Regulatory Affairs Short Course, and through RAWP I gained valuable work experience — relevant exposure to the processes involved in Regulatory Affairs and the confidence to apply my knowledge in a practical workspace.”
Amahle Mncwango
RASCP & RAWP Student
“The course offered a good foundational overview of regulatory affairs and introduced key concepts relevant to the industry. It provided useful context that I've been able to build on in my current regulatory role. I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain a solid understanding of regulatory affairs.”
