Our GCP certified customers


Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is an essential educational program that equips researchers and clinical trial professionals with the knowledge of ethical and scientific standards crucial for conducting high-quality clinical trials. This comprehensive training covers the internationally recognized guidelines established by the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH).
The primary goals of GCP training are:
- Ensuring the protection of human subjects' rights, safety, and well-being
- Maintaining the integrity and reliability of clinical trial data
- Promoting consistent, high-quality practices across all aspects of clinical research
Our GCP course delves into these critical areas, providing learners with a solid foundation in the principles and practical applications of Good Clinical Practice.
For researchers interested in participating in clinical trials, GCP certification is a necessity.
For those who are simply interested in improving their understanding of the field, GCP certification is highly valuable due to its:
- Ensures compliance with international standards
- Enhances research credibility and quality
- Protects participant rights and safety
- Improves career prospects in clinical research
Our course not only provides certification but also equips you with practical skills to apply GCP principles effectively in your work.
GCP certification is essential for a wide range of professionals in clinical research:
- Clinical Trial Investigators: Principal investigators and sub-investigators responsible for trial conduct at research sites.
- Clinical Trial Staff: Including research coordinators, study nurses, and other site personnel involved in trial management.
- Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs): Those overseeing trial planning, initiation, and reporting.
- Regulatory Authorities: Officials who monitor and evaluate trial compliance.
- Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Ethics Committees: Members reviewing and approving trial protocols.
- Academic and Research Institution Staff: Ensuring adherence to international standards in institutional research.
- NIH-Funded Researchers: All investigators and staff involved in NIH-funded clinical trials.
Our course caters to this diverse audience, providing role-specific insights alongside core GCP principles. The course is also valuable for anyone looking to upskill their research abilities and improve their clinical trials operations.
This GCP training course covers the ICH-GCP (E6-R3) international guidelines and meets the training requirement for you to participate in international clinical trials. Multiple language versions are available. This GCP training course is a step-by-step and up-to-date guide to the international ICH-GCP (E6-R3) guidelines. It is essential for anyone taking part in the running of a clinical trial.

While some free GCP training options do exist, they often have these limitations:
- Low quality (not accredited) and out-of-date content
- No official certification provided, which means researchers are still not able to conduct clinical research
These courses can, however, provide a basic understanding of the principles for those who are just looking for an introduction to Good Clinical Practice and its concepts.
Our comprehensive GCP training program is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the principles and practices essential for conducting ethical, scientifically sound clinical trials. The course structure includes both foundational and advanced modules, ensuring that learners at all levels can benefit from the content.
Key topics covered in the course include:
- History and principles of GCP
- Roles and responsibilities of investigators, sponsors, and monitors
- Ethical considerations and informed consent processes
- Protocol design and adherence
- Safety reporting and adverse event management
- Data integrity and quality management
Our GCP course is designed to ensure that participants not only learn the material but can also apply it effectively in real-world clinical research settings. To this end, the course incorporates various assessment methods throughout:
Ongoing Assessments: Throughout the modules, learners engage with interactive quizzes and case-based scenarios. These help reinforce key concepts and allow participants to gauge their understanding as they progress.
Final Comprehensive Exam: The course culminates in a final exam that thoroughly assesses the learner's grasp of GCP principles and practices. This exam covers all major topics from the course, including:
Ethical considerations in clinical research
Regulatory requirements and compliance
Roles and responsibilities in clinical trials
Data integrity and quality management
Safety reporting and adverse event handling
Practical Application: Some questions in the final exam are designed to test the learner's ability to apply GCP principles to realistic clinical trial scenarios.
To ensure learners are fully prepared to conduct their trials, successful completion of the final exam is required to obtain GCP certification.
The final exam may be taken an unlimited amount of times, ensuring that learner reach this level and, thereby, become GCP qualified.
Our course is designed to benefit a wide range of professionals involved in clinical research. While a basic understanding of clinical research is helpful, it's not a prerequisite. The course content is carefully structured to accommodate various levels of experience and roles within the clinical trial landscape.

ICH is a global initiative that develops guidelines for pharmaceutical research and development, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Key points:
ICH brings together regulatory authorities and industry representatives.
It creates internationally recognized standards for clinical trials.
ICH GCP guidelines focus on protecting participants and ensuring data integrity.
These guidelines are periodically updated, with ICH GCP E6(R3) being the latest version.
In order to conduct compliant clinical trials, these ICH guidelines must be adhered to. That’s why we made this course, covering all of the 13 core ICH GCP principles thoroughly, preparing you to conduct research that meets global standards.
ICH Good Clinical Practice E6 (R3) refers to the most recent revision of the Good Clinical Practice guidelines issued by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). This update, released in 2016, represents a significant evolution in GCP standards, reflecting the changing landscape of clinical research.
Understanding ICH GCP E6 (R3) is crucial for anyone involved in clinical research because:
It represents the current global standard for conducting ethical and scientifically sound clinical trials.
Compliance with these guidelines is often required by regulatory authorities worldwide.
It helps ensure the protection of human subjects and the reliability of trial data.
Many sponsors and research organisations expect their staff and partners to be familiar with and adhere to these updated guidelines.
Our GCP course thoroughly covers ICH GCP E6 (R3), ensuring that participants understand these updated guidelines and can apply them effectively in their clinical research activities.
ICH GCP is built on 13 key principles that guide ethical and scientific standards in clinical research. These include:
Ethical conduct
Benefits outweighing risks
Participant rights and safety
Adequate supporting data
Scientifically sound protocols
IRB/IEC approval
Qualified medical supervision
Qualified investigators
Informed consent
Accurate data recording and reporting
Confidentiality
Good manufacturing practices for investigational products
Quality assurance systems
Our course provides in-depth coverage of these principles, ensuring you understand how to apply them in real-world clinical research settings.
