The CRC track teaches coordinators to maintain a regulatory binder for a single study -- filing documents, tracking versions, keeping the binder inspection-ready. This course operates at an entirely different level. It teaches you to design the document management infrastructure that governs how every study's records are organized, stored, controlled, and retrieved across the entire site. The sequencing is deliberate. This course follows the three operational courses (submissions, amendments, safety) because you cannot design a records infrastructure until you understand the operational processes that generate the records. ICH E6(R3) changed "essential documents" to "essential records" in Appendix C -- a deliberate terminological shift reflecting that what sites must retain encompasses documents, data, and relevant metadata in any format. This course takes that shift seriously.
Studied within the Regulatory Coordinator track. One payment of $179 USD covers all seven courses and the certificate.
Seven modules and twenty-eight lessons, each module closing with a knowledge check, and a final exam to complete the course.
Each is open now, exactly as enrolled learners read them. Every lesson in the course is written, cited and narrated the same way.

Not separately. Essential Records Infrastructure & Document Management is the fifth course in the Regulatory Coordinator track, and the track is enrolled in as one: all seven courses, every final exam and the certificate, for one payment of $179 USD.
Fifty questions in 75 minutes, with 80% needed to pass, and up to three attempts. Each module also closes with a knowledge check.
Yes. Three lessons are open now: “The shift from 'essential documents' to 'essential records': what E6(R3) Appendix C changed and why it matters”, “Version control as a system: triggers, tracking, and verification” and “Electronic records and signatures: understanding 21 CFR Part 11 and ICH E6(R3) Annex 1, Section 4.3 at the site level”.
Yes. The course works from ICH E6(R3).
No. Access is yours for good. The Regulatory Coordinator credential the track awards is valid for two years.
