The International Clinical Research Academy (ICRA), formerly known as CRA-SCHOOL MONTREAL, has been created in March 2009 with the commitment of helping highly educated people worldwide with university and nursing diplomas  enter the rewarding and well-paid field of clinical research careers on unapproved new drugs, vaccines and medical devices for the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry. 

In this spirit, and to help alleviate the financial burden for candidates in conditions of  rapidly growing inflation, the Global Accessibility Program (GAP) has been reactivated.

What is GAP

The Global Accessibility Program (GAP) offers additional regional discounts based on the disparity of the economic realities of some areas, including many countries in Africa, South America and Asia.

The objective of the GAP program is to increase the accessibility to these well-paid careers with chronic shortage of qualified staff for every candidate in the world.

GAP Eligibility by region:

If you are in Africa, South America, or Asia, please get in contact with us today by email at info@cra-school.com to see if your country is eligible for an additional reduction in the enrollment fees based on your country of residency.

* This  additional tuition fees reduction is not available for residents of North America and Europe.

1-hour free consultation on the clinical research careers & discussion of a suitable Action Plan

The concept of this program is quite unique. It combines a very comprehensive regulatory training with 3 remote part-time monitoring internships to provide the required practical experience and 1-on-1 Placement Assistance Till Hired (PATH)

For a detailed 1-hour consultation and to get answers to all your questions, connect to our 7/7 LIVE support, provided 7 days per week till midnight EST (UCT-5).

Just say “Hi” to our Skype account CRA SCHOOL MONTREAL (the account without a dash between CRA and School) or book a consultation at info@cra-school.com.

* Our concept how to help IMGs to get a 1-st job in the clinical trials industry is rather atypical. Besides the very detailed regulatory training on the US, Canadian and international clinical trials regulations (over 1000 pages because the goal is to answer successfully any question at an interview and get the job), it includes 3 part-time remote internships to provide “hands-on” experience in Canadian/US regulatory environment, as required by law (and make the students eligible for the interviews), networking coaching to become known and get job leads about the “hidden” jobs (80-90% of all vacancies are never published, but filled-in by internal promotions and references), and CV adaptation support for every job, with unlimited interview practice and preparation for every role (till hired).

This program is internationally accredited and recognized by Transcelerate Research – USA.
It provides a PG professional diploma of a Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP) and covers not only the role the field CRA (the monitor and auditor), but also the roles of the CRC, CTA, IH-CRA, RA, DM, and PM.

Several entry-level jobs are also covered, like Data Entry Assistant, Documentation Assistant, Study Feasibility Assistant, Patients Recruitment Assistant, IRB and Regulatory Applications Assistant, Study Start-up Assistant etc.

We provide support also for top-level jobs that require high medical qualification, like Clinical Scientist, Medical Writer, Medical Monitor, Medical Assistant, Medical Affairs, Project Manager, Study Manager, Study Director, Drug Safety or Pharmacovigilance Associate and MSL (Medical Scientific Liaison)

The clinical research industry is a great alternative for foreign-trained RNs, MDs, BDS, veterinarians, pharmacists. biochemists, biologists and BSc/MSc/PhD degree holders
(No need for recognized diplomas, exams, nor license to practice)

* Regulatory Affairs jobs, including Clinical Data QC/QA, Drug Safety & Pharmacovigilance
* High wages, fast access (4-6 months detailed self-paced training with 3 remote internships in parallel to the regulatory training + unlimited 7/7 LIVE support in interview preparation till hired

The International Clinical Research Academy (ICRA), formerly CRA-School of Montreal, offers this program since 2009. It was the first program to include internships, a key requirement for getting hired. Internships are still extremely rare due to confidentiality & liability reasons.

Career change is an important step, and to make a well-informed decision requires to get the maximum of information from several different sources.  Do not jump in the water if you don’t know what  is under the surface.

End of the special 45% reduction for the

PG Clinical Research program CRP_3.0

During the first lock-down, the Executive Board of the International Clinical Research Academy “CRA-School” – Montreal decided to help people blocked at home to use the time for acquiring new qualifications in the rewarding field of the clinical research industry, which is in chronic shortage of qualified research staff, and offers higher than the average salaries, with frequent promotions.

* Therefore, two years ago, the board has decided for the duration of the lock-down to work temporarily without generation profits and granted a special 50% temporary discount for the unique concept of the individual online PG Clinical Research On-boarding program CRP_3.0 with 3 remote internships and unlimited Placement Assistance Till Hired (PATH). It is an individual, self-paced online program, with immediate 7/7 LIVE SUPPORT, provided till midnight EST (UCT-5).

Last week of the old 2021 fees with 45% discount for the PG Clinical Research On-boarding program with 3 internships and unlimited Placement Assistance Till Hired.

* Unfortunately, nobody expected that the lock-downs will become systematic, and the next year the discount had to be reduced to 45% to continue covering the operation costs and provide the highest quality services to the students. However, the high yearly inflation in 2021 made it difficult to cover the raising costs and maintain the 2021 tuition fees without cutting in the services.

In this situation, another reduction of this special discount becomes necessary. This is the LAST WEEK of the old 2021 fees with a 45% discount. It will expire on March 31 at midnight EST, and the new, corrected fees for 2022 will enter in force in April.

Payment in 2 monthly installments can also be selected during the inscription. For immediate assistance, just say “Hi” to our Skype account CRA SCHOOL MONTREAL. The 7/7 LIVE support is provided by chat till midnight EST (UCT-5). The service is free.

Please share with friends and colleagues who may be interested to profit from this last opportunity. Fees can be corrected without prior notice if the economic situation changes.

The well-paid careers in the clinical trials industry are an interesting alternative for foreign-trained physicians, dentists, veterinarians, nurses, pharmacists, biologists, chemists, and any other life-science professionals. Neither recognized diplomas, nor license to practice are required. In Regulatory affairs, only the licensed staff perform medical acts. All the other staff work on the Quality Control (QC) of the generated data, its documentation according to the Good Documentation Practice (GDP), and on assuring the compliance of all activities with the approved protocol and applicable regulations.

* L’essais clinique d’un vaccin exige 40,000 participants, contre 4,000 seulement pour un médicament.
  Ceci demande 10 fois plus de personnel que d’habitude. L’embauche n’a jamais été aussi active.
  Plusieurs compagnies sont entrées dans la course pour développer un vaccin qui marche mieux.
  C’est le meilleur moment d’entrer dans ce domaine, mais comment, si on n’y connait personne?

Des consultations gratuites pour cadres de la santé, formés hors du Canada (infirmières, médecins,
dentistes, vétérinaires, pharmaciens, biochimistes, biologistes, MSc et PhD) sur les carrières en
Affaires Réglementaires dans l’industrie des essais cliniques, qui ne demandent ni diplôme reconnu,
ni licence à pratiquer, sont procurées aussi par Skype 7 jours par semaine jusqu’à minuit. Juste envoyez
une invitation à notre Support à CRA School Montreal, ou réservez sur le site l’heure qui vous convient.

The vaccine trials require 10 times more subjects and plenty of new staff. The best time to jump ship. There have never been so many new jobs in this rewarding industry.

The clinical trials industry is booming. Vaccine trials need 40,000 participants, vs only 4,000 for drugs. This means a lot of additional staff, trained on the country law, and already having some “hands-on” experience in the tasks, required for the given job. Companies are hiring like never before, why?

More and more companies try to develop better working vaccines and initiate new clinical trials to get them approved. This creates a high demand for trained staff with prior practical experience, and a chronic shortage, with frequent promotions.

There have never been so many new jobs in the clinical trials industry. It is the right time to get trained and to network in this field. These are regulatory affairs jobs, no medical acts are performed, and no license to practice in Canada is required.

This is an interesting career alternative for foreign-trained nurses, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, biologists, and university graduates. Salaries in clinical research are always good and increased by the shortage of experienced staff. Promotions are regular and the investment to get trained pays quickly.

It is the right moment to join the winners and get ready for these rewarding jobs. To provide the “hands-on” experience, required by the law, and open doors to the first job, the Accredited Postgraduate Clinical Research Certification Course CRP_3.0 contains 3 remote internships in Clinical Data Management and Monitoring, and Placement Assistance Tlll Hired (PATH) support, provided by Skype 7 days per week till midnight.

To start your fast track road to the clinical trials careers, don’t miss the Christmas special discount, it ends soon. Enter the coupon ICRAXMAS at checkout to get the reduction. (Applies for payment in one installment only).
