Hello all,
Is it worth getting CCRP certification if you are already working in the industry for around 3 years now ?
I am trying to explore other functional areas within clinical research, any good recommendations ?

If you only have 3 years and want to directly interact with sites (e.g. as a CRA, director of clinical research site, etc), then yes CCRP certification can be useful. You need 2 years of experience to be even eligible to sit for the exam so this would be the perfect time.

However, if you’re planning on staying more on the sponsor or vendor side, then CCRP certification isn’t as common or considered as useful . You could always get other certifications from DIA or ACRP which might be more appl

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
