Yes, we have received positive reviews from people who have worked in the industry for over 20 years. As you start to work in the clinical research field, you usually get once-off GCP training, which is refreshed every three years. However, you typically work in a silo, and hardly ever get the opportunity to understand clinical trials from the perspectives of other role-players. Our courses go beyond compliance training by contextualising content within the full life cycle of a clinical study. 

Yes. Our Foundations & Beyond, and GCP refresher courses cover both ICH GCP and SA GCP.

Yes. Our Foundations & Beyond as well as GCP refresher courses cover both ICH GCP and SA GCP.

Our Foundations & Beyond course is the perfect starting point for you. Not only will you learn everything you need to be ICH GCP and SA GCP compliant, but you’ll learn how a trial is developed, set up, conducted, and closed and everything in between.

If you have had GCP training within the last 3 years, then you are eligible to enrol on our Refresher course. Please note we will need a digital copy of your most recent compliance certificate. If your certificate has expired for 3 months or longer, you are required to retake full GCP training.

It is quite difficult to enter this industry. To start with, as a minimum, you need a certificate in Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Our Foundations & Beyond course is GCP compliance on steroids, and after completing it, you will receive compliance certificates for both ICH GCP and SA GCP. The course is intense, but immersive, and will take you through the whole life cycle of a clinical trial. The course is internationally accredited, and will be the foundation of your career pathway to become a CRA.

Yes you can. ANYONE interested to start a career in clinical research, no matter what role you aspire to – sponsor, CRA, CTA, nurse, manager, coordinator, pharmacist, investigator, data capturer, data manager, regulatory authority, ethics board member, quality assurer, lab staff – our courses are for you.

Our courses are created by people who have worked in the industry for over 15 years. We cannot guarantee that you will get a job after taking our courses.

Any device that can connect to the internet – Android or iPhone; tablet, laptop, or computer. You will need medium to high-speed internet access, as there are videos and interactions.

You must be able to read and understand standard business English. You do not have to have any experience in clinical research. You do not have to have a Good Clinical Practice certificate.

No. TASK Academy courses are NOT your typical “death by Powerpoint” compliance training. While our courses encompass all the ICH GCP and SA GCP principles required to work in clinical research, they offer so much more! They are engaging and interactive, and contextualise lessons within the full life cycle of a mock Phase III trial. You will see the bigger picture, and learn how a trial is developed, set up, conducted, and closed and everything in between.
