What are CPIP™ Online Courses?

CPIP™ Online Courses were developed to help individuals in preparation for the Certified Pharmaceutical Industry Professional™ (CPIP™) examination.

The Certified Pharmaceutical Industry Professional™ (CPIP™) credential recognizes “change agents” as the necessary ingredient to foster industry innovation and enhance drug product quality. The credential establishes a global competency standard for industry professionals, and candidates are assessed through demonstrated education, experience, and a rigorous examination. Completion of any of these courses does not guarantee successful completion of the CPIP certification exam, and these courses do not include every subject to the depth of what will be covered on the CPIP exam.

Online courses can be viewed at your convenience. For courses purchased online: an order confirmation containing a link to the course will be sent automatically, immediately after purchase.
