    The course was absolutely wonderful. The instructors we're all very knowledgeable and experienced in their fields. Though the course slides were a few years old (2013) it still was accurate and informative. It's definitely a requirement of you're interested in venturing into drug study, clinical trial investigations, regulatory affairs. I'd highly recommend.

    I am faculty in pharmacy and teaching one of the topics on 'Drug Regulatory requirements'. I found this course most relevant to this topic. I gained more information to share with my students. It was good to get information and practical experiences from the industrial experts. I recommend this course to the pharma professionals.

    Great course, especially the first two weeks, the last week was not as good. In the last week was intended to teach more about Phase III and IV, labelling and marketing, but the two specialists talked to each other instead of focusing on the topics and the information was dispersed. On the whole an excellent course.

    This course, while it is more than 10 years old has given me an insight into the path required to develop drugs, with a closer look at the steps involved for each phase of drug development. This has helped me to tie together the journey from discovery to commercialisation from the perspective of an investor.
