ICH-GCP Training & Accreditation
ICH-GCP Training & Accreditation
Experience ICH-GCP refresher training like never before, with engaging, effective bite-sized learning PLUS…
Enhance your professional status with an ICH-GCP Accreditation
Are you are tired of training that involves clicking through online PowerPoint slides for Good Clinical Practice refresher training, just so you can check the boxes to say you’ve done it? If yes, then welcome to a innovative new way of learning.
Developed by the International Accrediting Organization for Clinical Research (IAOCR), CRunch is a fun and engaging app-style training that allows learners to complete their GCP Training in daily ‘bite-sized’ chunks across several days (it’s a bit like a well known language app, but CRunch is designed specifically for clinical research training). AND, when you have successfully completed the training, you will then complete the IAOCR internationally recognized ICH-GCP Accreditation. This is in addition to the Certificate of Completion you will receive after training; the accreditation will add an extra layer to your professional credentials and demonstrate to employers that you have been competence verified to international standards.
Registration deadline: 1 Oct / 1 Nov / 1 Dec

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access CRunch?
When you click on the link that will be emailed to you, you will be asked to enter your email address. You will then be emailed a magic link to click on which will take you straight into your CRunch account.
Is CRunch an App?
CRunch is a web app, not a native app, and it is not available to download via app stores – instead, once you have enrolled you will be emailed a link to access the app. To have easy access on a daily basis, it is recommended that you save CRunch as a shortcut on your device home screen. (Because it is a web app, you do have the options to complete training on your laptop/desktop; most of our learners use their mobile phones).
How do the CRunch bite-size learning modules work?
When you log in, you will see your daily learning plan. This will show all the learning activities you need to complete for that day. You will earn points for any learning completed and also unlock a bonus if you complete all required learning activities that day.
What are CRunch workouts?
Workouts are short self-assessed quizzes that help to make the leaning stick and personalise your learning journey. You will be asked a series of questions to check your knowledge on the topic, and then asked to confirm how well you knew the answer after it is revealed. How you answer will impact the questions you receive in future workouts, helping you target knowledge gaps. You don’t gain any extra points for saying you knew the answer, so it’s better to be honest with your self-assessed answers as this will ensure your future workouts target your knowledge gaps.
How long does it take to complete the course?
The ICH-GCP training on CRunch takes 8 days (approximately 10-15 minutes per day). However, if you don’t log in every day, the course will take longer to complete. Also, if you fail the quizzes, you may be set additional days of workout questions to help you brush up your knowledge before moving on to new sections of the course.
Can I do extra learning on a day if I want to?
No, CRunch’s learning approach is effective due to its bite-sized nature. Once you complete a day’s activities, you won’t receive any more to do until the next day.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you miss a day, you won’t get two days of learning content, it will remain as one day’s activities.
Can I revisit the learning content?
Yes, if you click on the course within your personal CRunch passport, you can access all of the content previously completed. You can also see the activities not yet reached – this is greyed out and not accessible unitl that module is released to you.
Can I decide when I get my daily reminder?
Can I decide when to get my daily reminder? Yes, click on the menu on the right-hand side of your screen and select Settings > User Settings
