I found the TASK Academy foundations course hugely informative and engaging. The multi uses of different media to capture my engagement was refreshing and helpful. The foundation course gives an excellent overview of the research journey from how it started to where we are today with clinical research. The information provided is detailed enough to be applicable for people's roles working in research today without being overwhelming or irrelevant. I enjoyed this course because the usability was friendly and motivating, the content was engaging and I was absorbed into the journey of clinical trials. I recommend this course to all research staff to complete as an excellent background into the why’s and how's clinical research should be conducted. All learners will benefit from this course and not just candidates new to research.

I had been working in a clinical trial laboratory for a long time, however I was never able to fit the pieces of a study in the correct order. On completion of the Foundations & Beyond course, I got to delve into a clinical study from the very beginning to the very end. I can confidently say that I now UNDERSTAND!

It took me longer than scheduled to complete the course due to unavoidable circumstances but I was determined to complete it. I am in the finance field and currently working for a Contract Research organisation therefore, it was important for me to understand the basic processes and procedures of a clinical trial. The course provided 100% of what I needed to familiarise myself with. I am very happy and confident that going forward, I will be in a position to swiftly relate with my CRA colleagues in my role as the finance personnel head. The course was really informative and I would recommend it to anyone in a research space. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity and the time allowance to complete the course.

First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank TASK Academy for availing this opportunity to me and many others who are keen on building their career in clinical research. I am truly excited to be among the first cohort to take this course, at least from my region. The course design allowed flexibility and convenience in reading through the course material and attempting the quiz. Even more exciting was the constant follow up by the course directors whenever I seemed to be lagging behind. Having served as a Clinical Research Fellow in a clinical trial environment for the last five years, I found this program quite enriching as it brings practical perspectives to every step of the clinical trial journey. What I enjoyed most is how the programme enabled me to see my roles from the site perspective as well as from the Clinical Research Monitoring view point. I look forward to a program that brings students under one roof for a one on one sharing of experience in the near future.

As a newly graduate from university, I came to this programme with narrow understanding of what clinical trial is all about. Enrolling to "Fundamentals of Clinical Trial Principles and Practices" has equipped me with valuable information that I cannot trade it with anything I am grateful for UVU BIO and TASK Academy for investing on and trusting us with this journey. Now I know ICH-GCP and SA -GCP guidelines and the rights and wellbeing of participants when conducting clinical research, I can now contribute in improving the health of participants in clinical trials.
