The course teaches the complete current ICH GCP E6(R3) guideline – principles, Annex 1 and the appendices – and shows what changed compared with E6(R2). It works as a first GCP certification for newcomers and as the E6(R3) update for professionals in the pharmaceutical sector, clinical researchers and regulatory affairs experts. It has 17 learning activities across 7 sections:
An introduction video and handouts, plus a step-by-step guide to working through the program: microcourses, knowledge checks, final exam, certificate.
Knowledge check from a pool of 52 questions.
Knowledge check from a pool of 59 questions.
Knowledge check from a pool of 32 questions.
A timed final certification exam with knowledge questions and practice scenarios from the course. One example: a sponsor who does not plan to retain trial records securely is not following GCP, because records must be kept for the required period and made available to regulatory authorities on request. After you pass, you download your VIARES certificate and can add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Sample question: What is the main objective of the ICH GCP guideline? Answer: to facilitate the mutual acceptance of clinical trial data for ICH member countries and regions by applicable regulatory authorities.
