Frequently Asked Questions
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.

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.

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.
