CCRM Australia is proud to provide access to GMP training delivered by The Canadian Advanced Therapies Training Institute (CATTI). CATTI is a Canada-based organisation dedicated to elevating the global advanced therapies sector through high-quality, industry-aligned biomanufacturing training. CATTI delivers both hands-on and virtual programs designed to equip individuals and organisations with practical, job-ready skills in biomanufacturing, with a strong emphasis on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Focused on bridging the gap between academic learning and industry needs, CATTI supports workforce development by preparing talent to meet the rapidly evolving demands of advanced therapies. Its programs are tailored to accelerate career readiness, upskill professionals, and help organisations build competent, GMP-ready teams. Through its commitment to applied experiential training, CATTI plays a key role in strengthening Canada’s life sciences ecosystem while contributing to the growth of the global advanced therapies community.

We aim to partner with companies and institutions to build the skills that will drive advanced therapies forward. We offer immersive bootcamps, virtual courses, and customised onboarding programs that accelerate careers and scale biomanufacturing talent across Canada and globally.

Value proposition

What sets the Canadian Advanced Therapies Training Institute (CATTI) apart is its strong focus on industry-aligned, job-ready training designed specifically for cell and gene therapy and advanced biomanufacturing. Unlike traditional or theory-heavy programs, CATTI is built around the real demands of GMP environments and the practical skills required in modern biomanufacturing operations.

A key differentiator is CATTI’s flexible blended learning model, which combines accessible online education with hands-on practical training. This allows learners to build workplace-relevant skills in formats that suit different schedules and locations. By integrating online learning with hands-on practical training, and reinforcing it with real mammalian cells, thorough assessments, and genuine skill development, CATTI ensures learners are prepared to transition quickly and confidently into the workforce while enabling organizations to develop GMP-ready teams more efficiently.
