ONLINE TRAINING INFORMATION SHEET
- ROUND 2 -
Context
SIGHTSoHO (strengthening overSIGHT through training and networking on Substances of Human
Origin) Service will provide blended training activities (eLearning and Face-to-Face) addressed to
European inspectors, assessors and vigilance officers in the field of blood and blood components,
tissues and cells (BTC), MAR and organs. In particular, SIGHTSoHO will significantly contribute to
further encourage and promote:
- the “formal” recognition of the commonalities among BTC oversight processes and the
adoption of a common approach for the evaluation and inspection of SoHO;
- the harmonisation and standardisation of some key minimum competencies/knowledge of
SoHO inspectors, assessors and vigilance officers;
- the strengthening of the existing network to foster trust between EU inspectorates and
competent authorities (CA) to allow mutual recognition of certifications and authorisations
of BTC establishments.
Round 2 online training will be opened to all EU CAs working in the SoHO fields. The CAs are kindly
invited to circulate this initiative among their local/regional/national networks.
Online training objectives
eLearning training aims to enabling participants:
- to perform oversight activities with a common methodology at both national and European
level (e.g., joint inspections, inter-Member State audits);
- to keep up-to-date and/or receive training to undertake their duties also according to the
new EU regulation on SoHO;
- to enhance their technical and organisational skills by familiarising with the best practices in
the field and to provide harmonised approach in the
accreditation/designation/authorisation/ licensing processes;
- to become proficient in surveillance and reporting procedures relating to serious adverse
reactions/events;
- to be part of a network of trained CA staff as well as European professionals community.
Participants’ selection criteria and approach
a. Be nominated or formally recognised as qualified inspectors/assessors/vigilance officers for
one or more than one of the specific fields of blood, T&C, MAR and organs (in this latter case,
only for the modules dedicated to Vigilance) by their CAs;
b. Knowledge of EU BTC relevant legislation;
c. Good command of the English language;
d. Applicants who did not join Round 1 training;
e. Round 1 priority list applicants will be preferred;
f. >1 year experience;
g. Priority to those applicants who showed interest in joining all the modules;

officer and assessor);

SIGHTSoHO Platform
The web platform SIGHTSoHO foresees sections dedicated to each weekly
training module and it includes: a repository of the most relevant reference
documents; pre-recorded presentations, links to join the synchronous live
appointments, self-assessment and evaluation tests, as well as forum and
interactive tools through which participants can liaise with tutors, post
questions, share information and experience of mutual interest.
The overall online training will offer effective and dynamic instructional
methods such as practicing breakout rooms, combining collaboration
activities with simulation, case studies, problem solving and group exercises
always supported and facilitate by tutors.
In order to become familiar with the eLearning platform, enrolled participants will receive
credentials to access the IT tool where, once logged in, they can find Video Tutorials.
The overall structure and contents of the eLearning training will be the same as the
one of SIGHTSoHO Round 1 online training. Nevertheless, given the recent adoption
of the new European regulation on SoHO, during Wednesday and Friday live
appointments, specific insights relating to the topic of the weekly online module will
