Why good-trials
GCP training without the pain — and a certificate that holds
Most GCP training is a chore you do because the ethics committee requires it: wait for a date, log in somewhere, click through the slides, pass the quiz, forget it by Monday. This course was built to take that pain out — and to leave you with a certificate a sponsor, a monitor or an inspector accepts without a second look. Here is how, and what it does not compromise on.
Taking the pain out
Start now, not at the next cohort
Card at checkout, one course, no institutional login, no module catalogue to assemble, no date to wait for. Other recognised courses in Switzerland run on published cohort dates, sit on an institution’s learning platform, or are assembled from separate modules certified one by one.
Written for the Friday afternoon at the site
Every module is built from the same named blocks, so what you half-remember a year from now is something you can find again without rereading. The rule states the requirement and cites its source. What this looks like in practice turns it into the steps at your desk. Common mistakes names the error and what it costs. And What inspectors look for closes every module with the three to five things an inspector asks to see. With a question about consent or drug accountability, you are looking for a block, not a paragraph.
Learn first, get tested once
The knowledge checks inside the reading are there to teach: a wrong answer opens the explanation and its source, nothing is scored, and nothing is recorded. The test is the final.
Swiss all the way through
Swiss law is in the body of the course rather than in one add-on module: the KlinV and the Human Research Act are cited throughout, and ClinO-MD wherever devices change the answer. What you read is what your ethics committee and Swissmedic expect. Some courses teach an international core with a Swiss module added.
Still a certificate that holds
The same recognition as the alternatives
Recognised by swissethics at Investigator level, on the same list as every other recognised course in Switzerland. Nothing about the recognition is different.
Listed with the sponsors' own programme
Since 22 September 2026 the course is listed under TransCelerate BioPharma’s GCP Training Mutual Recognition programme, so a sponsor taking part may accept the certificate as meeting its GCP training criteria rather than ask you to sit its own course again.
A higher bar
A 40-item scenario final, pass mark 80%, options shuffled on every attempt, all module quizzes completed first. Elsewhere, 70% can be enough.
Current guideline
Written against ICH E6(R3), in force since 2025, and the swissethics Investigator-level learning objectives. The R3 responsibilities are taught where they apply rather than appended: risk-proportionate quality, quality by design and critical-to-quality factors in Module 8; the data life cycle and computerised systems in Module 12.
A certificate anyone can check in ten seconds
A public verification URL on every certificate; the same address returns an Open Badges 3.0 credential to a system. We found no public verification service on the other providers’ pages.¹
The course is in English, costs CHF 499 once, and Module 1 is free so you can judge it before you pay.
