About the programme
Course Overview
Writing and maintaining quality manuals, standard operating procedures and audit checklists takes disproportionate specialist time, and manuals routinely fall behind the processes they are meant to describe. This course shows quality professionals how to use generative AI as a drafting assistant without losing the accuracy and control that regulated documentation demands. Participants learn to write prompts that produce manual sections mapped to specific standard clauses, generate audit checklists and CAPA narratives from process information, and verify every AI-generated claim, reference or clause number against a primary source before it is trusted. Sessions include live drafting exercises and error-spotting practice using deliberately flawed AI output. By the end, participants can build a review and governance process that lets generative AI speed up drafting while keeping document control and audit requirements fully intact.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Draft audit checklists from process maps and standard requirements using generative AI as a starting point.
Verify AI-generated text against source standards to catch fabricated or misquoted clauses.
Apply a human review and approval step before AI-drafted content enters the controlled document system.
Identify confidentiality and data protection risks when pasting process information into AI tools.
Build reusable prompt templates for recurring quality documents such as CAPA forms and work instructions.
Establish governance rules that define where generative AI may and may not be used in the quality function.

01Foundations of Generative AI for Quality Documentation
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1How Generative AI Tools Produce Text
- Explain how large language models generate text and why outputs can include plausible but incorrect claims.
- Distinguish tasks well suited to AI drafting, such as first drafts and rewording, from tasks requiring expert judgement.
- Compare general-purpose AI assistants with tools built specifically for regulated documentation.
- Set expectations with the quality team about accuracy limits before introducing AI drafting.
Session 2Prompt Structures for Quality Documents
- Build prompts that specify document type, audience, required sections and reference standard.
- Supply the model with source material such as process maps and existing procedures to ground its output.
- Iterate prompts to correct tone, structure or missing sections rather than accepting the first draft.
- Create a prompt library for recurring documents including manuals, SOPs and checklists.
02Drafting Quality Manuals and Procedures
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Drafting Manual Sections Against a Standard
- Generate a first draft of a quality manual section mapped to specific clauses of a management system standard.
- Cross-check generated clause references against the actual standard text before accepting them.
- Adapt AI output to reflect the organisation's actual process names, roles and terminology.
- Flag sections requiring subject-matter expert input rather than accepting a generic AI answer.
Session 2Drafting Work Instructions and SOPs
- Convert a described process into a structured, numbered work instruction using AI drafting.
- Prompt the model to include safety warnings, acceptance criteria and record-keeping steps.
- Review generated instructions against the actual workstation to confirm steps are physically accurate.
- Version and route AI-assisted drafts through the normal document approval workflow.
03Building Audit Checklists and CAPA Content with AI
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Generating Audit Checklists from Standards
- Prompt AI tools to convert standard clauses into auditable checklist questions.
- Tailor generated checklists to the scope and risk profile of the specific audit.
- Remove duplicate or overly generic questions that generative tools tend to produce.
- Pilot a generated checklist on a low-risk audit before wider use across the audit programme.
Session 2Drafting CAPA and Non-Conformance Narratives
- Use AI to structure root cause analysis narratives from investigation notes.
- Prompt for corrective action wording that ties directly to the identified root cause.
- Check that generated CAPA text does not overstate certainty about causes not yet confirmed.
- Standardise CAPA narrative style across the quality team using a shared prompt template.
04Verification, Governance and Risk Management
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Verifying Accuracy and Avoiding Fabricated Content
- Cross-reference every generated standard reference, statistic or citation against a primary source.
- Build a checklist for reviewers that flags common AI errors such as invented clause numbers.
- Track instances of AI-generated errors to refine prompts and reviewer training.
- Require sign-off from a qualified reviewer before AI-assisted content becomes a controlled document.
Session 2Governance, Confidentiality and Tool Selection
- Assess which AI tools meet the organisation's data protection and confidentiality requirements.
- Define what process information may or may not be entered into external AI tools.
- Write a governance policy covering approved use cases, review steps and record-keeping for AI-assisted documents.
- Review and update the AI governance policy as tools, regulations and organisational risk appetite change.
