Training centre for clinical research professionals

Comprehensive training aimed at developing the operational skills of junior and senior Clinical Research Associates (CRAs).

Innovative teaching methods

  • Recreated work situations in a virtual environment that is as close as possible to the problems encountered in the field.
  • Targeted adaptive training based on undetected or incorrectly calibrated gaps to ensure that learners receive personalised training tailored to the skills they need to practise as a CRA.
  • Validation of prior learning in the virtual environment.

Virtual monitoring

Dematerialised reconstruction of a monitoring session.
Discrimination of gaps, queries and deviations.
Justification in relation to legislation.
Drawing up an appropriate action plan.

Expertise in clinical research

Global and multi-stakeholder project scenarios. Early and late phase design. Multiple data sources.

A pragmatic approach

Multiple fictitious monitoring scenarios. Observation notebooks, source documents, study files reconstructing possible discrepancies encountered in the field.

Targeted learning

Adaptive learning, tailored to the identified needs and skills of each CRA learner.

CRA Academy

Three levels, three courses corresponding to three levels of technical and personal skills, autonomy and initiative.

An experienced trainer

With 25 years' experience in the field as CRA and CRA team leader, Catherine, our trainer, is responsible for quality control of the CRA's virtual monitoring, correction and individual feedback, as well as the choice of personalised learning modules based on the identified needs.

Training courses

The training path comprises three levels that meet the needs of a CRA in terms of business skills and professional development. At each level, the training is individually tailored to the CRA learner.

Programme 1

On-site monitoring of a single source file

Simple therapeutic trial, short patient follow-up, limited study procedures, simple medical history, minimal adverse events and few concomitant treatments.

Programme 2

On-site monitoring of a complex source file

Complex therapeutic trial with amendment, long patient follow-up, multiple study procedures, complex medical history, numerous adverse events and concomitant treatments, fraud.

Programme 3

Continuous site monitoring

Remote verification of the conduct of biomedical research without access to the source file and management of the investigative site between site visits.
