Course Description

Focussing on the different phases of the life cycle of a clinical trial, this Junior CRA training is specifically designed for people who have between zero to twelve months’ monitoring experience. The course covers all operational activities of monitoring. Dummy trial documents are used in the interactive workshops to share real-life operations. It is mandatory to have previously attended training on “Good Clinical Practice (GCP)”, as the aim of this course is to enable you as a CRA to implement the GCP requirements into your daily monitoring tasks. Become an expert in GCP with our classroom training or our eLearning course.

I feel like I have a good overall idea of the everyday work of a CRA. It was good to have some hands-on training for the monitoring activities as well. It was great to see how interactive the course was and how it was possible to ask questions and engage in conversation.
Adrian Manser

Swiss Pediatric Oncology Group
The course was very well organized. I liked the interactive style. I definitely refreshed my GCP knowledge and additionally, I learned a lot about the feasibility check of a study and the planning of pre-trial visits. I liked the short exercise at the end, where I together with an attendee performed possible monitoring with dummy material.

The trainer was super great and gave lots of relevant examples from the field. It was a good mix of theory and practice. Moreover, we were a small group of trainees, so the training was interactive.

Amber De Craemer

Student in Drug Development
I learned about the monitoring activities at different stages of a clinical trial, from study subject recruitment to safety reporting and quality assurance. Additionally, I gained an understanding of the applicable legislation, ensuring compliance throughout the trial process. I will apply the knowledge of monitoring activities at different stages of a clinical trial. It was nice to discuss about real-world scenarios in clinical research with the instructor and other people working in the field. It enriched my understanding of practical challenges. Additionally, the hands-on activities allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in practical knowledge.

The training equipped me with knowledge of clinical trial processes, study procedures, and regulatory requirements. It improved my skills in conducting monitoring visits, completing eCRFs, and identifying protocol deviations. It also reinforced the importance of adhering to GCP guidelines, proactive problem-solving, and effective communication. The main point I will apply in practice is improving effective communication with the study team.
Caterina Grassi

Between the ICH GCP course and this course I learned a lot. Not only the theoretical part, but I also have a clearer idea of what a CRA is doing daily and of all the steps and documentation about clinical trials. I hope that this knowledge gives me a burst in finding a job, in which I will be able to more easily apply the skills I learned in the course. I liked the balance between theory and workshops, in particular the workshop of "doing the job" of a CRA helped me really understand the practical part of the job, and will facilitate me in my first job experiences.

These skills will improve my effectiveness as a junior clinical research associate. I will apply my site monitoring skills to identify non-compliance and ensure data integrity, enhancing my effectiveness as a junior clinical research associate. My most positive experiences during the course were engaging with the knowledgeable instructor, gaining practical insights into the clinical research field, and networking with fellow participants, which enriched my learning experience and motivation.

AZ Sint-Jan Brugge
I gained a more clear understanding of everything that needs to be checked during monitoring, gained important skills on how to deal with investigators and really look at all the details. The interactions with the group really added to the overall experience and allowed me to look at things from a different perspective. I also enjoyed the balance of learning theoretical things and then being to immediately apply them during the workshops. The trainer had lots of real world experience she could share with us, the training slides were detailed but not too much information was given at once. The virtual classroom add a benefit of being able to look back on everything that was learned. Being able to apply the theory immediately into the workshops allowed for clear examples on how to apply the knowledge.

Qserve Group
I already had basic knowledge of most topics discussed, but this training discussed everything in detail which increased my knowledge tremendously. The workshops helped with applying the knowledge and gave a good insight on how to use the skills which were discussed. A very nice and experienced trainer, who gave room to ask any questions and answered all in much detail. I really enjoyed the group workshop of monitoring the patient visits, which gave a good insight in to how detailed you actually must be.
