What's covered

  • Scope

    Drugs, medical devices, IVDs and AI-enabled clinical operations, in one curriculum.

  • Duration

    3 months of structured training plus 3 months of internship for the Advanced Diploma.

  • Learning style

    Portfolio-based -- you build real work samples, not just watch lectures.

  • Standard

    ICH-GCP E6(R3), ethics, safety, data governance and clinical operations.

Clinical research employers need more than theoretical knowledge. They need people who can understand a protocol, support a site, review clinical data, maintain essential documents, process safety information and work responsibly with digital systems.

XcelTrials Academy is designed around those real tasks. Our learners practise clinical operations through guided exercises, mentor review and role-specific learning paths.

Do not just learn clinical research. Practise the work.

Many programmes explain clinical research. XcelTrials trains you to apply it. Every major module is connected to a realistic task, document or decision you may encounter in a clinical-research role.

  • Integrated training across drug trials, medical-device investigations, IVD performance studies and AI-enabled clinical operations.
  • Practical work samples for interviews: feasibility assessment, ethics package, protocol-to-eCRF mapping, monitoring report, safety case and CAPA exercise.
  • ICH-GCP E6(R3) taught through operational scenarios, quality-by-design and risk-proportionate thinking.
  • Live classes plus recorded learning in the XcelTrials app.
  • Mentor review, assessments and structured feedback.
  • Stackable certificates that can build toward the Advanced Diploma.
  • Training for both job-seeking students and medical-device manufacturers or start-ups.

Built for learners who want evidence of capability, not only a certificate.

What you will be able to do

  • Interpret a protocol and map study visits.
  • Prepare essential documents and ethics submissions.
  • Design and review an eCRF.
  • Identify and escalate safety information.
  • Support monitoring, deviations and CAPA.
  • Use AI carefully with human verification, confidentiality and auditability.
