Quality Assurance, Certification, and Accreditations for Clinical Trial Sites

"I would absolutely recommend IAOCR. They’ve really helped us over the last couple of years, re-organize the way we deliver training. I think the way they go about their business is very diligent, it’s quite strict, which I think you need when you’re setting up levels of competence for the industry. IAOCR have really helped us shape out thoughts around competence over the last four or five years."

"I would absolutely recommend IAOCR. In all my dealings with them I’ve found them to be highly professional, extremely focused, and I’ve been delighted to be a member of the Executive Advisory Board and part of the Workforce Quality Accreditation program. I think [IAOCR accreditation] has the real potential to be adopted across the industry. The fact that there is an accreditation process where none existed before, we are looking at common competencies that work across academia, across CRO and pharma. This is something to be absolutely celebrated!"

"I think they’re really shaping the industry, they were the primary and first people speaking about competency….IAOCR are the frontier of how we should be evaluating clinical research professionals. It’s the wave of the future and I'd like to see the industry embrace it as a whole."

"The Project Management Course provided by IAOCR was a new and innovative way of providing this kind of training within this industry. My team contained people with varying experience and they all benefitted from it, even though some of them did not meet the accreditation criteria. The follow up work by IAOCR was excellent and really got my team thinking about the training and using it in real life examples which is rarely achieved with other training methods. The main selling point is the fact that participants have to demonstrate understanding, and that really opened my eyes to the ability of my staff within my team."
