Practice the decisions clinical research professionals make on the job
Work through realistic clinical research scenarios, make operational decisions, and receive immediate feedback on your reasoning.
From scenario to feedback in four steps
Review the scenario and source information
Each step gives you the situation, the protocol context and the records you would actually see on site.
Make decisions based on the protocol and available evidence
You choose what to do next, the way you would in the role. There are no trick questions.
Receive a competency breakdown and decision log
At the end you see how your decisions map to competency domains, plus a review of every call you made.

- Repeatable: run the same lab as many times as you like.
- Immediate feedback on your reasoning after every attempt.
- Not identity verified, and never presented as verified competency.
Verified Assessment

- Identity confirmation before the attempt begins.
- Defined rubric with human evidence review.
- Eligible to become verified Passport evidence.
