ACRP Certification, administered by the Academy of Clinical Research Professionals (the Academy), is the formal recognition of clinical research professionals who have met eligibility requirements and demonstrated proficiency of specific knowledge and job‐related skills by passing a standardized exam.

ACRP Certifications are relevant for all research studies involving human subjects, including, but not limited to, drug, device, and biologic studies. Earning and maintaining your credential demonstrates that you have achieved the clinical research profession’s “trusted mark of excellence in clinical research”. This career milestone validates your clinical research knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply those in your daily work.

The CCRA®, CCRC®, and CPI® programs are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
