Quality Assurance & Collaboration
Quality Assurance & International Recognition
IAOCR is the only organization in the world to provide internationally recognizable, robust and meaningful accreditation of clinical research professionals, training programs and organizations, based on competence verfication.
All of our accreditation programs have the following credentials:
- Mapped to the International Standard Classification of Education Framework developed by UNESCO.
- Mapped to relevant Core Global Competency Frameworks developed by the industry for clinical research professionals.
- Provide a completely independent dual-stage assessment and independent verification of competence against robust, accredited evidence criteria.
- Delegates/learners passing our programs are awarded IAOCR Internationally Qualified Status.
- Delegates/learners receive recognized “learning credits” and “CPE” (Continuing Professional Education Points). 1 learning credit is approximately 10 notional learning hours (these are internationally accredited). 1 notional learning hour is equal to 1 CPD point or 1 CPE point.
In addition to working to a number of internationally and industry recognized frameworks and quality assurance standards, we work collaboratively with industry regulators, commercial companies, not-for-profit bodies and experts to formulate and share best practice frameworks and guidelines.
If you are interested in becoming a member of one of our international Taskforces or our Global Advisory Board we would be delighted to hear from you – contact us here.
