Danville, CA (PRWEB) March 6, 2008 -- ClinfoSource, a global online training company based in Danville, California, announced today that it has partnered with Nucleus Network Ltd based in Victoria, Australia to jointly provide web-based GCP training for clinical trials professionals in the Australia region, later to be extended to include the New Zealand regulations. This program is intended to offer clinical trial investigators, coordinators, research associates and other clinical trials professionals a solid and practical understanding of clinical trials conduct and management, and of the regulations and ethics central to the drug development process. The program will be launched in March, 2008.
Web-based GCP training courses have been offered by ClinfoSource since 2002 in response to the growing demand for comprehensive, high quality clinical research training courses that can be accessed by clinical research personnel at their convenience and at an affordable cost. Nucleus Network has been providing in-class clinical research training to those involved in trials in Australia and New Zealand since 2005. The new collaboration will offer courses customized for the Australia-New Zealand region in the web-based format allowing convenient access to GCP training. These online courses represent a greater depth and breadth to the current in-class GCP course.
In the joint program, a trainee will have up to 12 months to complete the modules for a particular certificate. There are 5 separate certificate programs tailored to site personnel and to sponsor/CRO personnel, ranging from core training to advanced training. Alternately, custom selection of more than 50 individual modules in areas of specific interest will also be available. The courses and modules will be launched progressively beginning in March.
Dr. Kay Ranganathan, President of ClinfoSource said, "We are very excited about partnering with Nucleus Network in offering this program. Combining Nucleus Network's expertise in clinical research training with ClinfoSource's comprehensive set of training modules and web-based platform will facilitate GCP training for wider audience in the region."
Robyn Lichter, Manager Nucleus Network Education added, "The expanse of our country renders a challenge to the delivery of programs with resourcing and cost maintenance. Essentially training budgets are constrained so to have alternate options which do not require a travel component for the trainee is highly desirable. The added option of training at one's own pace will suit some people's learning style. This high standard, accessible, affordable and flexible clinical research training format will address the gap for busy dedicated personnel."
Dr Andrew Giddy, CEO of Nucleus Network said, "We are very excited to be involved in the development of a new range of modules for Australia which expand the format and diversity in clinical research training."

Search Engine Optimisation Services Australia
No matter how visually stunning your website is (or isn't), if it can't be found by the major search engines then you may as well not have bothered...this is the equivalent of printing 10,000 stunning brochures, and then leaving them in the storeroom. So often companies spend their scarce marketing resources on the "front end" of a website, totally ignoring the "back end" which drives visitors to your website, and from there encourages them to buy.
