The South African Health Regulatory Authority, SAHPRA,  requires a virtual facilitation session as part of first time Good Clinical Practice training. To be compliant TASK Research Academy’s training will consist of two parts. To obtain your first time GCP certification you will be required to complete both parts. 

How does the program work? 

  • Part 1: Pre-workshop course material.  This comprehensive foundational pre-workshop course is mandatory and will take about 8-10 hours to complete. This part of the training is online. You can do it anytime, and at your own pace on any devise, from anywhere in the world. The only requirement is that you need to complete it before your virtual workshop. This course will provide you with all the knowledge and tools you need to actively participate and engage in the follow up virtual workshop (part two) to complement and enhance your learning experience during the workshop. 

 

  • Part 2: Qualified Facilitator led virtual workshop. There will be a set date and time for one or more virtual workshops in one month. Everyone that completed the pre-workshop course material before that date can join the workshop. If you missed the workshop you will need to join the next workshop. The next workshop date is 6 November 10h00 – 16h00.

On completion of both Part 1 and Part 2 you will be ICH and SA GCP compliant, ready to start your career with confidence!
