Comprehensive online GCP training aligned with EU Directives, ICH E6(R3), and international standards — trusted by European clinical research professionals, sponsors, investigators, and CROs. Self paced. 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates. Inspection ready training records.
The European Union has a comprehensive regulatory framework for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) that is governed by EU Directive 2001/20/EC and implemented through Directive 2005/28/EC, which lays down the principles and detailed guidelines for GCP as regards investigational medicinal products for human use. The EU framework is aligned with the ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice guideline.
Key Regulatory Frameworks:
| Market | Framework | Application |
|---|---|---|
| European Commission | Directive 2001/20/EC | Clinical trials on medicinal products for human use |
| European Commission | Directive 2005/28/EC | Principles and detailed guidelines for GCP |
| European Commission | Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 | Clinical Trials Regulation (applicable from 31 Jan 2022) |
| EMA | ICH E6(R3) GCP | International ethical and scientific quality standard |
| National Authorities | Member State Competent Authorities | Inspection and enforcement |
All courses are self paced, available online, and include 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates with verifiable IDs — accepted as documented training records during EMA, MHRA, and other regulatory inspections.
This training program defines the complete knowledge and performance requirements for personnel involved in clinical research to become certified global auditors for Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
The program integrates GCP requirements from ICH E6(R3), Health Canada Part C, Division 5, and FDA regulations (21 CFR Parts 50, 56, 312, 314.50, and 314.80) with auditing practices based on ISO 19011:2026 for internal, second-party (vendor/CRO/site audits), and global regulatory compliance auditing.
This comprehensive training program provides an in-depth exploration of the ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice guideline, the globally recognized standard for the ethical and scientific quality of clinical trial design, conduct, and reporting.
Finalized in January 2025, this latest revision represents a significant modernization of GCP principles, emphasizing a risk-based, proportionate approach to trial management and the integration of digital technologies.
Enroll in Good Clinical PracticesThis comprehensive training program is designed to provide individuals with a thorough understanding of ISO 19011:2026, "Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems."
The program covers all aspects of the standard, including the principles of auditing, managing an audit programme, conducting management system audits, and evaluating the competence of individuals involved in the audit process.
Enroll in ISO 19011:2026This comprehensive training program provides clinical research professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to conduct clinical trials in compliance with Health Canada Food and Drug Regulations (Part C, Division 5) and the ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guideline.
The curriculum is aligned with Health Canada's adoption of ICH E6(R3) effective April 1, 2026.
Enroll in Good Clinical PracticesThis training program is designed to provide organizations and individuals with a comprehensive understanding of the legal, regulatory, and operational requirements for protecting health information in clinical research and healthcare delivery settings.
Enroll in HIPAA ClinicalGCP training is a regulatory requirement for all personnel involved in the conduct of clinical trials in the EU.
EU Member State competent authorities conduct GCP inspections of clinical trial sites, sponsors, and CROs to verify compliance with GCP requirements. Inspection findings can have serious consequences:
Common EU GCP inspection observations include:
Our 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates provide auditable, documented training records that EU inspectors accept during inspections.
Canada joined the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co operation Scheme (PIC/S) — the international body that harmonises GMP and GCP standards across 55 member countries. This has direct implications for how GDP training is structured for Canadian professionals.
Health Canada GDP requirements are closely aligned with EU GDP and WHO GCP — meaning training that covers PIC/S harmonised GDP principles is relevant for Canadian professionals working in any international context.
Canadian facilities with Health Canada GCP certification are recognised by many international regulators. Our training covers the core GDP principles recognised by all PIC/S member authorities — including FDA, EMA, and WHO.
Canadian distributors supplying the US, EU, or other markets must meet multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously. Our GDP courses cover all relevant frameworks in a single, comprehensive program.
