Certificates

If I obtain a Certificate of Completion for one company for a specific clinical trial, is this certificate valid for another company and/or clinical trial?

It depends on the company, but the test most likely would need to be retaken. While core questions would remain the same, companies can add questions, include more questions for specific domains, and eliminate questions on certain domains to fit a specific clinical trial. Also, companies often require that a test be taken within the past 12 months, so if too much time has passed since you received your Certificate of Completion, the test will need to be retaken. The good news is that once you have undergone the training and testing, retaking a test should not be too burdensome or time consuming. Also, because of feedback received from many of you on similar initiatives, our goal was that time and effort be minimized as much as possible while also retaining a high-quality program. Ideas for improvement are always welcome.
