Online training modules: "Introduction to GCP"

A new good clinical practice online training module with test is now available from the Academy. "Introduction to GCP" is a 13 minute presentation, narrated by Professor David Hutchinson, that also consists of a short test of GCP knowledge. Participants who listen to the presentation and complete the test satisfactorily will receive a certificate confirming their achievement for their training records.

Anyone who has significant trial-related duties should be familiar with the concept and principles of GCP. This module is ideal for those staff. It is able to provide immediate basic training in GCP. It is also suitable for administrators, nursing staff, investigators and others who might not need extensive formal training.

To undertake the module, you need to obtain a user name and password. The fee for a single use is 40 UK pounds or 80 US dollars (excluding taxes). Contact us by email to place your order info@brookwoodacademy.org

The Academy, is soon to launch further online and PC-based training programs. Programs will be available for both investigators and sponsor staff. The investigator modules cover the most important GCP responsibilities of study site personnel. This training can be undertaken at a place, pace and time to suit the individual without the need to attend courses or travel.

New online Cert CRGCP Part 1 exam

Candidates are now able to sit the Cert CRGCP Part 1 (basic course) examination using the Academy's online learning management system. The multichoice examination consists of around 100 randomised questions. A PC with Internet access is required. Candidates are given login information. The exam must still be undertaken in formal closed book conditions (with access only to an English language dictionary). The results are immediately displayed. The Academy is able to see how each question was answered, how long it took as well as much more useful information that can be used to help each candidate. Participants of Part 1 courses from September 2007 will be invited to sit the exam in this way.
