GCP Central launches in september 2016 as the first in a full online Netherlands WMO/GCP course, which re-registers students at home, on the train or during the night shift. You don’t have to travel to any classroom sessions, but does the re-registration course from your own (work) place and when it suits you.
There are within the NFU made agreements about the content of course. The course of GCP Central meets these content requirements and is recognized by EMWO, the examination Board responsible for registration and re-registration in the WMO/GCP register of the NFU.

When should you recertify?
No later than four years after your WMO/GCP-registered certification, it is required to do a recertification course if you are, or will be working as a clinical researcher. For those who are currently WMO/GCP registered, there is a transition period, where those who qualified 6 years ago need to recertify with WMO/GCP. If your initial WMO/GCP registration was after October 1, 2010, then you have until 1 October 2016 to re-certify. Not re-registered within this time? Then you must take the exam again.
