Learn the rules
What a protocol asks of you, who does what, how paperwork is kept, and how patient safety is protected.

Clinical Research Entry Program (CREP)
A hands-on program for people moving into clinical research.
You learn clinical research by doing it. You work inside one simulated study, produce five pieces of real work, take a final challenge on your own, and then explain your decisions to a reviewer.
At a glance
The whole program in four facts. You practice real clinical research work in a simulated trial, and a person reviews what you produce.
The difference
What a protocol asks of you, who does what, how paperwork is kept, and how patient safety is protected.
You work through the same calls a coordinator has to make, inside a simulated trial, instead of just memorising answers.
You produce real work, get written feedback on it, and know exactly what you did well and what still needs practice.
Digital Standardized Trial
Glycoterra is a clinical trial we invented, and you work inside it the whole way through. You handle the real things a study runs on: the protocol, consent forms, patient notes, visits, study drug, safety reports, lab results, the database, queries and emails.
It is for learning and assessment. It is not a job, and it never appears as work experience on your record.

How learning becomes evidence
01
See where you are starting from, and what you need to work on.
02
Learn what you need for the task in front of you.
03
Do the work and make the decisions inside a realistic simulated study.
04
Write it up so someone can see how you got there.
05
Talk a reviewer through your decisions, live.
06
Only the areas that meet every condition are recorded as verified.
07
Leave knowing exactly what to practice next.
Curriculum
Developmental evidence
Week 1
Read the Glycoterra protocol extract and explain what the study is asking the site to do, who owns which decision, and where the schedule of assessments governs day to day work.
You get written feedback on this. It is practice work, not verified evidence.
Week 2
Work a Glycoterra start-up package and state what is complete, what is missing and what must be corrected before the site can be activated.
You get written feedback on this. It is practice work, not verified evidence.
Week 3
Review a consent encounter and the site's operational records, then document what happened, what is defensible and what must be re-consented or corrected.
You get written feedback on this. It is practice work, not verified evidence.
Week 4
Take a Glycoterra participant from review through eligibility, visit documentation, data entry, an incoming query, query resolution and identification of a documentation issue or deviation.
You get written feedback on this. It is practice work, not verified evidence.
Week 5
Work a safety event through site assessment, reporting and escalation, then take the associated deviation through root cause and a proportionate corrective action.
You get written feedback on this. It is practice work, not verified evidence.
Week 6
One situation that pulls together everything: the protocol, who can join the study, consent, patient notes, the database, queries, safety, mistakes and the paperwork behind it all.
Before you start, you confirm the work you hand in is your own and can be reviewed.
A 20 to 30 minute live conversation with a reviewer. You talk through what you decided and why, and answer their questions. Nothing is marked verified before that conversation.
Completion and verification
Verification is never guaranteed and cannot be bought. It only ever covers the work we actually looked at.

After you submit, you book a 20 to 30 minute verification review: a live conversation where you talk a reviewer through the decisions you made and why. Your time is confirmed in writing.
Each live Competency Studio runs on the Wednesday of its week. The confirmed start time, and your verification review time, are in your written enrollment instructions.
