Course Description
Clinical Trial Assistants (CTAs) have a crucial role to play in the clinical research process. They must adequately maintain all the project’s documentation, records and files and archive them according to the rules. In addition, Clinical Trial Assistants assist with periodical reviews of the clinical project records for accuracy and completeness to remain audit ready. Personnel entering clinical research for the first time and having less than one year’s experience have a great need for information and assistance to perform this function accurately.
This course covers regulatory principles that underpin clinical research requirements and provides a practical coverage of the day-to-day functions. Theory and interactive exercises make this training the ideal foundation for a career as a CTA.

I want to thank sincerely the ECCRT for the excellent quality of the training provided. I felt warmly welcomed and I was given a very good assistance in organizing the trip, especially thanks to the support of Ms. Veerle Bultinck.
A great thanks to my highly qualified trainer for the clear explanations, for the availability to give us all the clarifications we needed, for the material provided and for the way she managed to motivate us.
I really enjoyed the training, the organization and all the staff!
The course was even better than my expectations!

It was a very complete course full of good tips and tricks. As I'm new in the job, I did not really know what to expect but I realised that I already do a lot of what Marleen covered. But thanks to Marleen, all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Moreover, the course was very interactive with a lot of practical examples from Marleen which is definitely a plus.
