Any experience older than ten years will not be considered. Applicants may utilize one option below as a valid substitute for hours of work experience.
Under no circumstance will an applicant be permitted to use more than one substitution for the same application. ACRP considers applicants who have completed a clinical research degree program that is accredited by the Council for Higher Education to have achieved a valid substitute for 1, hours of professional experience performing the essential duties.
A list of recognized accrediting agencies can be found from the CHEA website: chea. Contact certification acrpnet. If you have determined that you meet the eligibility criteria, the next step is to submit an application with payment. The eligibility review process includes determining completeness of the application and determining whether or not the applicant meets the eligibility criteria for the exam. This process begins within one week of receiving the application and may take up to two weeks to review before any update is emailed.
These requests will come via e-mail. Applicants will have seven 7 calendar days to respond to the request.
Applicants who do not respond to the request for additional or clarifying information will automatically have their applications determined incomplete and therefore are ineligible to take the exam. Ineligible applicants will be refunded the exam fee only. Note: check your SPAM or Junk mail folder if you do not receive any notice within 14 days of applying. If an applicant is determined to be ineligible during initial review, the application is automatically reviewed by a second reviewer.
If the second reviewer also determines the applicant to be ineligible , the applicant is automatically found ineligible and will be refunded the exam fee. Applicants are notified via e-mail at each step of the review with an explanation of the deficiency identified.
If a third-level review is necessary, the final determination will be made by the Certification Director. Applicants found to be ineligible who do not initiate the Appeals process within the stipulated timeframe will automatically be refunded the exam fee. After determining that you meet the eligibility requirements, you must submit together the application, supporting documents, and full payment for a complete application.
There are two situations in which candidates may take advantage of this:. Transfers are applied toward the next exam only. Transfer of eligibility and associated fees will be applied only to the original candidate and are not transferable to another person, even if paid for by a third party. Exam fees are transferred toward the next exam only and not toward other products or services.
If you choose to transfer to the next exam window for one of the two reasons above, you must submit a request to transfer before the end of the exam window for which you had originally applied. To submit a transfer request, you must access your online application and select Request Exam Window Transfer. If you have an exam appointment scheduled, you must first cancel it directly with Prometric before submitting your online request to transfer to the next exam window. Fees, payable to Prometric directly, apply for appointment cancellations made within thirty 30 to five 5 days prior to an appointment date and do not include transfer fees paid to ACRP.
Cancellations are not permitted less than five 5 days prior to an appointment. If a transfer candidate does not submit the request before the end of the current exam testing window, then all funds originally submitted will be forfeited. Transferring is not an option for re-examination candidates from the previous exam cycle.
When a transfer request has been approved, all fees application and exam fees are applied automatically at the start of the next application period. All eligible transfer candidates will receive an email notice of Eligibility when the Eligibility ID has been reactivated and an exam appointment can be scheduled. Candidates who are required to submit documentation for subsequent eligibility review must do so at the start of the next application period. View full policy on transfers, cancellation, no shows, refunds and re-examination.
If a candidate must cancel an exam, the only portion of the total amount submitted that will be refunded is the exam fee, provided that the request for cancellation is received at least five 5 calendar days prior to a scheduled exam appointment. Application fees are nonrefundable. Cancellation requests received after that time will not be honored. Refunds are not available to candidates who do not schedule or attend the exam. Refund requests will be accepted only if made by the candidate. Applicants who do not meet the eligibility requirements for the exam i.
Refund requests can be made by the candidate only. Any refund will be sent to the party who initially paid for the exam. If payment was made by credit card, that card will receive the credit. If the payment was made by check, ACRP will mail a refund check to the original payer. Only applications received with required supporting documentation and full payment will be accepted. You will receive an automatic email confirmation upon submission of application and the following documents:.
Applications selected for audit will undergo a thorough eligibility review process. A second email confirms that the application was received by ACRP and is being prepared for the Eligibility Review process. Please allow up to 10 days to receive your eligibility email notification. Once you have been determined eligible you must schedule an appointment to take the exam within the exam date range.

The following situations will be considered with documentation:. There are strict requirements for arrival, identification, available resources, exam security, and behavior during the exam.
The best preparation for ACRP Certification exams is understanding the knowledge requirements of your role and their application to clinical research. No two candidates come to the exam with the same knowledge base. Since experience and educational backgrounds are unique, these differences must be taken into consideration when determining a study method.
Begin to prepare using the following steps:. Step 1: Assess your own professional experience. Read carefully through the Detailed Content Outline description for the exam you wish to take. Compare the detailed description of knowledge and tasks, plus the proportion of questions, to your own professional experience. While you personally may have limited experience with certain job functions due to your job description with your employer, success on the exam requires you to demonstrate competency in all areas of the exam.
Step 2: Start early and plan ahead. You must complete and submit your detailed application at least three 3 weeks before the exam. Focus some learning time on reading in every content category, but spend extra time reading in those categories where your experience is limited.
Match your study efforts in relation to the time you have available and the specific study needs you have identified for yourself. Every exam candidate will answer the same number of questions in every category. Step 3: Schedule your study time. Schedule flexible blocks of time into your personal schedule. Step 4: Organize your study notes. It may help you to organize your study notes, articles, summaries, etc.
Let your experience guide you in the content areas you are most comfortable with and focus more time in your weaker areas or on those areas with which you are least familiar. Create flashcards to use as study aids. Step 5: Choose the methods that are right for your study plan.
As you perform your daily responsibilities, think about the underlying principles that lead you to take a particular course of action. Pick a regular night and show up on time.
Each of you has the same goal, and everyone has something to offer. Sharing reading and exchanging notes is a great way to lighten the load. Study groups foster friendships and provide an incentive to stay focused on your collective goal. Follow the excellent pre-exam advice that ACRP provides, and come to the exam well-rested and prepared.
You can select a publication that you may already have on your bookshelf, or one that you can borrow from a colleague. If you have time, take a workshop or attend a conference session on topics in which you need to become more familiar. Any professional development courses that cover clinical research topics will add to your knowledge base and therefore will help you prepare for the exam.
Courses titled this way are at the discretion of the organization offering the course. Those creating the course have not had any inside information about the exam. The same information that is included in this Handbook to help you prepare is publicly available to those creating educational content.
Participation in these courses may help you learn or review topics covered on the exam, but you should not expect them to directly cover exam content. It can be helpful to be reminded of some key strategies for how to approach a multiple-choice exam:. Upon completion of your computer-based examination, you will receive your test results via email. The passing score is set by a panel of subject matter experts representative of the professional.
These experts review each test question, evaluate the difficulty of the questions, and make a judgement as to how a candidate with basic proficiency would perform on the question. The judgements are analyzed statistically to determine the passing score.
