The mix worked well
"I was impressed with the versatility of the learning environment. The mix of texts, PDFs, videos, questions and assignments worked wonderfully well!"
Erik van Beers, Skyline DX, Clinical Development Online graduate
Not the traditional classroom
"Clinical development was dissected in a different way than I am used to, which was intriguing. The interface of the online course and exam were really nice: simple and straightforward to interact with, at your own pace and time, and you can go back and forth as you wish, certainly not the traditional way of a frontal classroom interface!”
Ofer Spiegelstein, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Clinical Development Online graduate
Really instructive
"The highlights of the course were the real life examples and the follow up provided. The interviews with people that were involved in the studies were really instructive"
Georges Habineza Ndikuyeze, Janssen Research & Development, Clinical Development Online graduate
Excellent learning opportunities
“The cases were excellent and the manner in which they were presented provided excellent learning opportunities”
Vickas Patel, GlaxoSmithKline, Clinical Development Online graduate
A world of knowledge
"This training opened my eyes to a whole new world of knowledge on the development of medical interventions"
Willem Birkhoff, Centre for Human Drug Research, Clinical Development Online graduate
Happy with responses
“Real life case studies and learning about 'how it really happened'. Very happy with responses on comments (timewise and content)”
Joost van Middendorp, Pfizer, Clinical Development Online graduate
