DESCRIPTION
The expert in-company blended ICH GCP course for International clinical research is the optimal mix for companies: your team learns about GCP guidelines online, at their own pace, and applies the GCP rules to company-specific situations in an instructor-led (virtual) classroom session at your company.
The self-paced online course gives a practical understanding of the ICH GCP guidelines in a logical order: from design to the closeout of clinical trials. After completion of the 7 modules of the online course, the attendees have the knowledge to have in-depth discussions at the (virtual) classroom session.
The program of the classroom session is tailored to the needs of the attendees and allows maximum interaction. They are challenged to apply their GCP knowledge to solve company-specific case studies. They will exchange knowledge and experiences with their colleagues and have in-depth discussions with the experienced trainer to maximize their learning experience.
This course is ideal for teams working in the clinical research industry in the international ICH regions and experienced staff looking for an extensive update on ICH GCP.
The completion of the training takes 10 hours, including 6 hours of online learning and a virtual* classroom session of 4 hours. (*We provide virtual classroom training due to corona restrictions)
After the attendees have completed all components of the blended ICH GCP course, they will receive a GCP Certificate, recognized by Transcelerate.
All training courses include one-year access to online training. With our continuous learning model, we will keep your team up-to-date with changing regulations and guidelines.
