  • CCRPS is officially CPD-accredited for all eight of its clinical research certification programs, with each clinical research course offering 70 to 295 CPD hours, depending on the curriculum depth. You will receive a third-party approved CPD-accredited certification.

    CPD Standards Office (CPDSO) CCRPS is proud to be an accredited provider with the Continuing Professional Development Standards Office (CPDSO), a globally recognized organization supporting professional education and lifelong learning. Our Clinical Research Associate Certification has undergone a rigorous evaluation and has been awarded CPD accreditation, confirming that the course meets the highest standards for content, structure, and educational quality. As part of this accreditation, CCRPS is authorized to issue CPD Certificates of Completion to delegates who successfully complete the course. Each certificate includes the total number of CPD hours earned and provides a Learning Reflection Tool to support compliance with international CPD schemes and professional body requirements. This CPD designation reflects our continued commitment to professional development and offers our students credentials recognized across multiple sectors, industries, and countries.

  • Select CCRPS certifications (ACRCC) include ACE College Credit eligibility where stated within the program, designed to support learners who want formal academic recognition of their professional training. This involves a 3-6 month intensive third-party review.

    ACE eligibility does not convert a certification into a degree. It provides an additional pathway for learners whose career trajectory benefits from documented academic equivalency.


  • CCRPS programs are designed to align with the regulatory environment professionals operate in. That includes:

    • ICH GCP E6 alignment, including E6(R3) principles where applicable

    • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance concepts for electronic systems, audit trails, and data integrity

    • Operational interpretation of informed consent oversight, safety reporting, and documentation requirements

    • Audit and inspection readiness behaviors grounded in real site and sponsor expectations

    CCRPS does not teach regulations as trivia. CCRPS teaches how regulators and auditors interpret decisions, documentation, and oversight systems.

    This difference is not academic. It is the difference between passing a quiz and surviving inspection level review.


  • CCRPS operates as a professional training partner under Advanced Education Group LLC, a non degree granting postsecondary educational institution headquartered in Orem, Utah.

    CCRPS provides workforce aligned certification programs designed for adult learners and clinical research professionals. CCRPS does not issue academic degrees and does not position its programs as medical licensure. Credentials are positioned accurately as professional education intended to strengthen role competence, documentation discipline, regulatory alignment, and audit readiness.

    CCRPS certificates are supported by third party Continuing Professional Development accreditation where applicable, alongside URL verifiable credentials and LinkedIn badges for professional validation.

    Clear institutional identity matters in clinical research because credibility fails fastest when governance is unclear. If an organization cannot be clearly described, its certificates become hard to trust in regulated environments.

  • CCRPS is a recognized partner institution of the NHA (Account #: 411862). Our Essentials of Leadership and Management in Health Care program supports professionals in advancing into leadership roles, preparing for NHA certification exams, and applying real-world management practices.

  • CCRPS partners with YM Careers to support direct employer pipelines for CCRPS-certified specialists, including cybersecurity-focused listings designed to reduce the distance between certification completion and job opportunity visibility.

    We host monthly career webinars and continue to work 1-1 with corporate partners for internship and employment pathways. Our mentorship track and outreach team works directly with students to ensure career success after course completion.

    For Career Support please contact our Careers Director, Jessica Anghelescu at partners@ccrps.org.
