Common questions

Yes. The course, the live deck and both surveys are free. Claiming the template into your AhaSlides account is free too.

Yes. The course is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session in the room or online.

Before starting trial work, then a refresher set by the sponsor or institution (your gcp refresher interval); ICH E6(R3) requires staff to be qualified by training for their tasks but sets no interval. US NIH-funded trials are reported to expect a refresher every three years (unverified).

Research nurses, clinical research coordinators, study-site staff, investigators new to research, and CRO and sponsor staff (monitors, project assistants).

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when.

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply.
