Good research starts with good training.

We make clinical research easier to understand, with practical courses for the people who do the work.

Our approach

Training you can put to work.

Clear explanations. Original sources. A record of what you learned.

  1. Understand the work.

    Learn how clinical research works, why the rules exist, and how they apply to decisions you make on the job.

  2. Go to the source.

    Study Good Clinical Practice directly from ICH E6(R3), with plain-language explanations and assessments to check your understanding.

  3. Keep a record you can share.

    Your completion record shows what you studied and can be verified online. Employers and institutions decide whether it meets their requirements.

A letter from the founder

Why I built MyTrial Academy

Dear clinical researcher,

I am Andrew, a physician who has spent more than a decade inside clinical trials. In that time I kept meeting the same person: capable, serious about the work, and stuck outside it, because the training that would let them in was priced for institutions and sold by the seat.

FreeGCP was my answer: a complete Good Clinical Practice course, free, for anyone who wanted it. More than 27,900 people in over 168 countries have taken it. The appetite for serious training was never the problem. The door was.

MyTrial Academy carries that work forward. The GCP program is still here, still free, and around it I am building the curriculum I wish this field had handed me: courses taught from ICH E6(R3) itself, that explain the reason behind each rule and are honest about what a certificate can and cannot prove.

If you are new to research, start here and build a real foundation. If you have done this work for years, you already know that the guideline is not the job; the judgment is. Either way, our promise is the same: we teach the why, we test what you learned, and we give you a record you can carry anywhere.

None of this is finished. The Academy improves the way it asks its learners to work: study carefully, weigh the evidence, and fix what is wrong. If a lesson is unclear, or a claim outruns its proof, write to me. I read every note.

Thank you for learning with us, and for the care you bring to the work.

With respect,

Andrew Michael, MD

P.S. If you found us as FreeGCP: welcome back. The GCP program continues here, and every legacy FreeGCP record is still publicly verifiable.

Begin with the foundation. Carry it into the work.

Start with complete Good Clinical Practice training, then choose the program that fits the responsibility in front of you.
