What is the difference between the Foundational GCP training and GCP Refresher training?

The Foundational GCP training is a course on all chapters of the ICH-GCP guideline E6. We will focus on the ethical aspects of performing clinical trials outlining the responsibilities of all stakeholders. Through extensive theory and interactive moments, including real-life situations, we will get you acquainted with the ins and outs of Good Clinical Practice.

Enrolling in the Foundational GCP training should be your first step into the realm of GCP training. By equipping you with fundamental knowledge and principles, it ensures that you have a solid grounding to build upon. So, make this your initial GCP course to pave the way for a successful and promising journey in the field of clinical research

 

The GCP Refresher training is designed for people already working in a GCP environment but needs an update on this topic. During this course, we provide examples of day-to-day situations and guide you to successful solutions to these problems.

If needed you can always request training for your company or team, as we will tailor the training according to your needs.

Contact us for more information.

 

What is the difference between the Junior and Senior CRA courses?

The Junior CRA course is designed for starters in the business; it covers the basic guidelines and regulations followed by an overview of the duties of a monitor in the clinical operation processes. Through theory and workshops, we start with site selection, covering pre-study, initiation, monitoring and closure tasks of a CRA.

The Senior CRA course focuses on more advanced tasks such as protocol and informed consent review, site management, recruitment issues and communication skills. It is designed for CRAs that want to boost their career and have already some experience in the field.
