Clinical Trials British Columbia has funded and managed the provincial license and access to ACRP eLearning platform since 2015, and is a designated administrator for learners accessing coursework through this program.

Courses are developed in partnership with experts in the profession to build core clinical research competencies aligned with recognized frameworks.

All courses are based on current standards and effective learning methods.

Due to the limited number of seats available, access will be granted for a period of six months to complete the training of your choice. You will retain access to your certificates of completion and records after this time, but won’t be able to access the learning resources free of charge.

If you’d like to access ACRP resources in the future, please contact us and we will re-activate your account in the provincial access program when a seat becomes available.
