The Certification Exam is therefore an ideal way to prove candidate knowledge of internationally accepted regulations and core concepts.
The examination is made up of three sections:
-
Section 1 A core compulsory ICH GCP section
-
Section 2 Global variations Candidates choose to answer questions on CFR, EU Directive or country specifics.
-
Section 3 Functional Variations Candidates choose to answer questions on issues relating to Site Staff, CRA, CTA or Project Management.
