Frequently Asked Question
Get the answers to the questions you have
General
What industries do you serve?
We specialise in Personal Care and Homecare manufacturing — including cosmetics, household products, and hygiene goods. Our services are tailored to meet the specific compliance needs of these sectors.
Are your compliance assessments accredited?
No — our assessments are non-accredited, but they are structured to provide real-world, industry-standard insights. They follow the frameworks of ISO 22716 and COS-GMP, and are often more practical and useful than formal certifications.
What’s the difference between scheduled and self-paced training?
-
Scheduled training is live and delivered on set dates via Google Meet.
-
Self-paced training allows you to learn in your own time, with full access to video modules and resources.
How quickly can I get a quote or book a service?
We aim to respond to all quote requests within 24 hours, and often much faster. Our streamlined process ensures no long delays or back-and-forths.
Do you provide certificates after training or assessment?
Yes. Upon completion of training or assessments, a certificate is issued promptly — often within 48 hours of completion.
How long does the full process take?
The timeline depends on your site’s readiness and responsiveness, but the process can be completed in as little as 90 days from initial contact.
Typical timeline breakdown:
- Quote Agreed upon and contract signed
- Activity Scheduled
-
Audit/Assessment Completed →
-
Corrective Actions Closed (CAPA): Up to 30 days
-
Technical Review: Up to 10 days
-
Certificate Issued: Immediately after successful review
Faster turnaround is possible for sites with strong internal systems.
Where do you provide your services?
We work with clients worldwide.
-
Our training services are delivered virtually, allowing participants from any country to access expert-led sessions or self-paced learning.
-
Our compliance assessments are available internationally. These are conducted on-site, and we travel to your location as required.
Whether you’re in the UK, Europe, Asia, or beyond — ApexGlobal Quality brings expert support directly to your business, wherever you operate.
Technical
What makes your compliance assessments different?
Unlike traditional audits, we use a hybrid approach:
-
The first assessment is announced, to establish a clear benchmark.
-
All following assessments are unannounced, giving a more accurate view of ongoing compliance. This simulates regulator-style inspections and better reflects how your systems perform day-to-day.
Can you assess against custom standards or internal checklists?
Yes. We support assessments based on:
-
COS-GMP or ISO 22716
-
Industry-specific frameworks
-
Your own internal standards or SOPs
This is especially useful for supplier risk management.
What formats do you use for reporting?
Reports are issued in PDF format, with clear findings, risk ratings, and recommendations. We can customise the report layout if needed for internal compliance tracking.
Are your trainers and auditors qualified?
Yes. All training is delivered by qualified professionals with industry experience. For example, our lead trainer is a BRCGS-approved ATP & AVT with over 15 years of practical experience as both a trainer and auditor
Can you provide training and compliance assessments outside the UK?
Yes – we offer both training and compliance assessments to clients anywhere in the world.
-
Training is delivered virtually, making it accessible globally without additional costs.
-
Compliance assessments can be conducted internationally — on-site travel is required for in-person assessments, and travel arrangements will be discussed as part of the booking process.
What is the compliance assessment (audit) process?
Our assessment process is designed to simulate real-world audit conditions and provide meaningful feedback — not just a checkbox exercise. Here’s how it works:
-
Gap Assessment (Optional) – A pre-assessment to identify areas for improvement before the formal audit.
-
Initial Audit (Announced) – The first full audit, scheduled with your team to establish a compliance baseline.
-
Surveillance Audit 1 (Unannounced) – Conducted unnannounced to evaluate true day-to-day compliance, typically 9 months after the certification
-
Surveillance Audit 2 (Unannounced) – A second unannounced follow-up audit, typically 12 months later.
-
Recertification Audit (Announced) – Conducted every 3 years to renew your certificate and update compliance records.
Is your certificate recognised?
While our certificates are non-accredited, they are based on globally recognised GMP frameworks such as ISO 22716 and COS-GMP. Many manufacturers, suppliers, and brand owners rely on them to demonstrate strong operational control and GMP compliance.
Each issued certificate includes a unique certificate number, which can be used to verify its authenticity through our online global directory (coming soon). The directory will display:
-
The certified site’s name
-
The audit framework used (e.g., COS-GMP, ISO 22716)
-
Date of issue and expiry
-
Scope of the assessment
Clients also receive a detailed assessment report, which they can share with retailers, partners, or regulators to demonstrate the depth of their compliance — a valuable asset during supplier approvals or tenders.
