“The IAOCR ICH-GCP essentials accreditation is well structured assessment which I would recommend to all staff working in clinical research, who want to demonstrate their understanding of research regulations and ICH-GCP scientific quality and ethical standards. The internationally recognised IAOCR accreditation was a big draw for me as it is highly advantageous in growing my clinical research career and growing research collaborations” - Saddaf Shaheen Research Operations Manager, Humber Teaching NHS Trust

“Having delivered trainings for years, I thought that the assessment was going to be easy but found that even with all of my experience, I was still challenged by the assessment. I liked how the assessment questions got me to think critically about why I deliver trainings the way that I do and how they made me think outside of the box about some challenges that may arise in the training space. I really appreciated the assessor’s thoughtful comments and how they pushed me to go deeper and elaborate on my responses when more information was needed. This is definitely a worthwhile accreditation for anyone serious about training delivery in the clinical research space!” - Jackie Morrill Executive Director, LMK

“I decided to complete the ICH GCP & Foundations in Clinical Research accreditation programmes for my own personal development. The online assessments are really easy to access, with a well presented format and simple to navigate. The variety of questions allowed me to re-visit my current understanding of GCP principles and allowed me to recognise some areas for improvement. I would certainly recommend the programme to anyone who is thinking about doing it" - Catherine Whitehead Vendor Start Up Manager and Clinical Research Nurse

“I decided to pursue the accreditation program as an International Certified Site Coordinator. The program offers a self-paced structure of the program of choice, with responses due within specified time frames. What sets it apart is the meticulous testing platform that includes the provision for qualified examiners to review your answers. If further clarification or elaboration is necessary, you have the opportunity to provide it. In just six weeks, you receive your results. For someone like me who collaborates with colleagues worldwide on clinical trials in my role as a DCT Coordinator, I highly recommend this program for those seeking industry excellence and a competitive advantage”. - Victoria Walker Clinical Research Coordinator Global CRO

“The Clinical Research Project Manager IAOCR accreditation program provided me with a great platform to showcase and consolidate my work experiences and skills into a formal independently assessed international accreditation, as well as providing an excellent opportunity for me to use this accredited status to help grow my career and network in global clinical research!" - Liam Mistry Clinical Operations Leader MSc,RICR, QM-IAOCR
