Access to latest version of Oracle Argus Safety 8.2.3.1 received as part of this program. I was sold at this because from my friend i heard hands on experience on the latest version with latest regulations is a must and that what interviewers looked for. The recorded sessions help me navigate the software. Very useful program for me as i explore a career in drug safety!

Explored programs across several providers and narrowed down on this one specifically because it offers access to the Argus software which is required by the industry. Was surprised by the depth of content. The content comprehensively covers all aspects of PV along with practical training on Argus Safety. Would highly recommend this course.

Will take more courses from them!

This was the first time i have enrolled for an eLearning program. The content is really clear and very comprehensive at the same time. The quizzes make learning more engaging and i did not face any problem accessing the Argus Safety software. I am learning from the modules and have found this course really useful so far. By working practically on cases in Argus safety i am getting confident in managing cases. Recommend it!

As a board-certified physician, I have found this course extremely useful and relevant not only to clinical practice, but to those clinicians looking to expand their opportunities into the pharmaceutical and non-clinical spectrums. Some of the course information covered would have been appropriate to have presented within medical school training and is absolutely applicable to current clinical practice. I am pleased to say that I have learned valuable, clinically relevant information that I can use today, even without a transition to the pharmaceutical environment. Highly recommend this course and found the course trainer(s) extremely helpful in all questions. Only suggestion would be for the course material video slide presentations to have the option to slow down the audio; my function (if available) did not work and listening to lectures with accents not natural to my own did present somewhat challenging, requiring repeated listening to grasp the material.
Thank you!!
