Overview of Good Clinical Practice Training

The Good Clinical Practice (GCP) online training consists of 12 modules. Each module discusses a specific GCP standard. General conduct of research standards are also presented.


Modules

The 12 modules may be completed one at a time or in one sitting as users may login and logout, as needed. Users have the option to complete module quizzes after reviewing the instructional material, or choose to complete the module quizzes only, particularly for returning users. Accessing quizzes is easy. Select the Take the Quiz button in each module or choose one of the links on the My Progress page.

Quizzes and Certification

To obtain a certificate, users must complete all module quizzes successfully. The quiz questions are based on the information provided directly in this course, including extracted summaries and definitions. However, the questions are not based on information provided in the externally linked documents or websites. Module quizzes are randomized from a bank of questions each time a quiz is taken. Therefore, it is highly recommended that users review the instructional material prior to completing the quizzes.

Users are required to complete a quiz following each module, except for the Introduction module. To receive a certificate, all quizzes must be completed with at least 80% accuracy. Upon successful completion of all quizzes, the user will be given access to the Certificate of Completion. Based on CTN Policies and Procedures, GCP certification expires after three years.

Resources

Please use the Resources tab to review terminology and definitions, course links, and additional resources and websites. The course is designed to be comprehensive for users to review the content of required information in conjunction with an examination of other source documents and websites pertinent to Good Clinical Practice and research regulations.
