IAOCR is the world leader in clinical research competence verification and accreditation.

In addition to accrediting individual Clinical Research Professionals, we work with organizations and clinical trial sites worldwide who are committed to improving the safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of clinical trials, by addressing human factors alongside technologies and processes.

We offer individual accreditation of employees, accreditation of organizations, accreditation of clinical research sites/partners, or a combination of these services. For organizations offering clinical research training, we quality assure your training, ensuring program content aligns with core global competencies. We also help design and build your workforce infrastructure, ensuring competency verification throughout all HR processes, from onboarding to the entire employee lifecycle, to attract, engage, and retain staff.

Quality assuring people and processes also enables organizations to adopt a ‘right first time’ and ‘quality built in’ approach (demonstrating compliance with ICH-GCP E8 R1) through high quality clinical trials workforces, giving sponsors and patients confidence that they are in safe hands. 

All of our competence-based accreditation frameworks and programs are developed from global core competencies established by industry leaders. Working within a regulated environment, our programs are mapped to the International Standard Classification of Education Framework developed by UNESCO and, are subject to rigorous assessment and a two-step independent verification process making them the most robust and respected in the industry.
