A four month clinical research master class

The Clinical Research Master Class is an intensive, four-month online training programme designed to develop highly skilled professionals capable of managing and conducting clinical trials with excellence. This comprehensive course blends theoretical foundations with practical, hands-on experiences—guiding learners through the full life cycle of a clinical trial, from protocol development to site close-out.

The training is ideal for science graduates, aspiring investigators, study coordinators, clinical research associates (CRAs), project managers, and regulatory officers, including those looking to transition roles within the clinical research industry.

Delivered by seasoned industry experts, the programme includes:

• Workshops & scenario-based modules simulating real-world study implementation

• Training in regulatory submissions, ethics approvals, and trial start-up

• Site operations, patient enrolment, monitoring, and data management

• Clinical project management and trial close-out processes

• GCP certification and 100% discount on South African GCP training

• Structured mentorship, including career planning, CV reviews, interview preparation, and access to referrals

• Externship opportunities (6–12 months) with partner organisations for real job experience

Participants attend regular expert-led contact sessions and receive personalised feedback to assess competency. The curriculum follows a role-based approach, meaning content is tailored to suit the unique demands of each professional role in clinical research.

With two intakes annually (February and July), and limited to 20 learners per cohort, the Master Class ensures focused, high-impact learning in a collaborative environment.
