Can anyone provide SA GCP training and issue a GCP certificate?
No, GCP trainers in South Africa need to issue a GCP certificate that has been accredited by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Accreditation involves a review of the course content as well as the skills, background, and expertise of the trainer.
