ES SOCRA CCRP Exam Study Guide An Ultimate
Resource for the SOCRA CCRP Exam Preparation
Professional certification can provide added
credentials for those who look for greater career
success. The Certified Clinical Research
Professional (CCRP) certification from the
Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA)
is a professional certification for those in the
clinical research industry. The ES SOCRA CCRP
Exam Study Guide is a comprehensive study guide
that may help with preparation for those who plan
to take the SOCRA CCRP exam. Why Do I Need A
Study Guide When I Already Got the Reference
Manual From SOCRA?
3
If you have already registered for the SOCRA
CCRP exam, you should receive the SOCRA
Certification Program Reference Manual in the
mail. This manual is a good reference material.
But imagine reading through the 21 CFR Parts 11,
50, 56, 312, 812, 45 CFR Part 46, and ICH GCP
(E6) from start to finish, it can be quite
grueling. By the end of it, how much information
will you really get out of it? Also, the SOCRA
Certification Program Reference Manual does not
contain any industry experience from an industry
insider whatsoever. Its just a printout of
regulations, thats all it is. What About SOCRA
Clinical Research Professional Certification
Preparation and GCP Review Course? SOCRA offers
a 1 day in-person Clinical Research Professional
Certification Preparation and GCP Review Course
at various locations and dates in the U.S. and
Canada. I had attended this course prior to my
SOCRA CCRP exam in September 2013. Although the
information presented on this course can be
beneficial, and I would recommend this to anyone
taking the exam, there are limitations to this
course

The cost for this preparation course is quiet
considerable (295 for SOCRA member, 370 for
non-member). This is in addition to the cost of
SOCRA membership (75/yr) and the CCRP exam fee
(195). The course is offered only a hand full
of times per year in different locations. If you
do not live near the location where the course
will be held, traveling is involved. This means
more costs for flight, hotel, car rental, and
daily expenses. The information is condensed
into compact format in order to fit the 1 day
time limit. The information presented can be
found from publicly available sources and is not
a substitute to ones own studying.
5
In my opinion, my own time in studying and taking
notes from publicly available relevant
information (various GCP trainings, CFR, ICHs
GCP, industry websites, etc.) and years of
industry experience helped me much more. Another
reason is that it was impossible for me to retain
information from a 1 day compact course. It was
useful for me to summarize key information from
my own studying and absorb them at my own pace.
If I were to attend this 1 day course without
spending the time to study on my own prior to the
exam, I would not have aced this exam or even
passing it. How ES SOCRA CCRP Study Guide Can
Help Save You Time and Sanity Instead of trying
to plow through countless FDA regulations,
guidelines, and industry practices, imagine if
there is a Study Guide that helps summarize all
those materials in an easy to digest format in
bullet points. Imagine if you can click and
search different topics in seconds. Imagine if
you can browse through and learn the information
at your own place in the comfort of your home.
Imagine if there are tips and suggestions from
someone in the industry who had gone through the
exam and aced it with flying colors.

Imagine no more Imagine no more. I have compiled
the note I took when I was studying for the SOCRA
CCRP exam in September 2013. I have named it ES
SOCRA CCRP Study Guide (ES stands for Ernie
Sakchalathorn). From these notes, I was able to
pass the SOCRA CCRP exam with a score of 96 (I
answered 130 questions correctly out of 135
questions total, click HERE to see my score
letter). Inside this Study Guide, there
are 100 Pages of Complete and Outlined
