Who should sit the Exam?
The exam was originally designed to assist members without a life science degree to gain Registered Member (RICR) status. Although this is still the case, the exam is now predominantly used a to assist our members continuing professional development, as the exam demonstrates a candidates board knowledge of the essential aspects of clinical research whilst also demonstrating their ability to apply that knowledge.
Exam Composition
The ICR Exam is designed in two parts:
Part 1: Certificate
This may be taken once the theory and basic principles of clinical research are acquired. This exam consists of 60 Multiple Choice Questions
Part 2: Diploma
Candidates require a minimum of 6-12 months working within clinical research before they can sit the Diploma as it requires a degree of application of the principles of clinical research. The exam is scenario based and candidates must answer 3 of the 9 scenarios presented to them.
