What our graduates are saying

“I thoroughly enjoyed participating in Vigor’s clinical research coordinator training program this past spring. The program was extremely informative held at a very professional level as opposed to the typical academic class setting. The hands-on training, clinical site visit, and stress-free daily knowledge assessment were all valuable in making this a very conducive learning environment. Furthermore, Carolyn’s extensive experiences in clinical research arena provided first-hand account of the do’s and don’ts of a CRC which will help me perform this job at a high ethical standard. In all, I highly recommend this training program to those interested in transitioning into clinical research.”

“Carolyn brings a wealth of clinical research knowledge to Vigor's training classes and provides a comprehensive understanding of drug development and the specific responsibilities of a CRC/CRA. With small classes, Carolyn adapts to her students’ different learning styles through engaging lectures, interactive classroom exercises, detailed report writing, quizzes and practical internships. Carolyn ensures her students have both a mastery of the material and the soft skills needed to succeed in the role of a CRC/CRA. To me, Carolyn is more than an insightful teacher, she is a mentor and a friend. I highly recommend Vigor's training classes!”

“Vigor's CRA training academy refreshed my existing knowledge with greater insight about clinical research, and added a new level of skills by combining classroom lecturing and interactive exercises. It is a good start for anyone seeking to work as a CRA or CRC in this industry.”

“This training course has helped me land a job in the clinical research field. Before I took this course, I had applied to several positions within the industry never receiving a response back. I met Ms. Stroud at a local networking event and she told me all about the CRA training and the upcoming class. The class gave me the tools and knowledge needed to understand the industry better such as the terminology, roles and responsibilities of key players particularly the CRA, GCP, and much more. What I learned also helped me when I interviewed with the organization I work for. When I was asked industry related questions, I responded with confidence because I knew and understood exactly what was being asked.”
