Why learn CRA, CRC and CDM together in Bangalore?

BCRI’s Advanced Certification in CRA, CRC & Clinical Data Management is a 4-month classroom course at HSR Layout, Bangalore. It teaches site coordination, trial monitoring, source data verification, eTMF and EDC data management, with classes Monday to Friday. The fee is ₹42,500. It includes a 3 to 6 month internship with an SMO, CRO or hospital, and Dual Certification: a BCRI certificate plus an LSSSDC certificate after an offline exam.

On a real trial, three teams pass the same data along. The CRC writes down each patient visit at the hospital. The CRA checks those notes for the drug company. The data team then cleans the data in the EDC system until it is locked. This course teaches all three jobs, so you can apply for more kinds of roles.

Bangalore is a good place to start. On 8 October 2026, ClinicalTrials.gov listed 114 trials looking for patients in Bengaluru. 67 were large phase 3 studies, and 75 ran at 50 or more sites around the world. Big drug firms such as AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Novartis ran them. Each trial needs site staff, monitors and data teams.

Our classroom is in HSR Layout, close to BTM Layout, Koramangala, Electronic City, Sarjapur Road, Bellandur, Marathahalli, Whitefield and JP Nagar.
