Triticon Training Programs

TriTiCon Provides training in Clinical Development, primarily focused on systems used in clinical trials and Clinical Data Management. Our training program is comprised of a series of individual modules, organized in themes, to provide full flexibility so you can tailor the training to suit your needs.

The training is available as “mix & match” (select any combination of modules) or as pre-defined courses (defined set of modules for different objectives and target audiences). The “mix & match” option is available as self-service (eLearning), whilst the pre-defined courses has both a self-service and instructor lead option. Read more on the About Training page.
