No, Castor does not require mandatory training to access the system or complete an eCRF. However, your study sponsor or institution may have specific GCP training requirements.
While the Castor CDMS interface is designed to be intuitive and requires minimal onboarding, several training and reference options are available depending on your study needs:
1. Free Self-Paced Training (Castor Academy)
We offer free, on-demand courses tailored to specific user roles:
- Data Entry Course: Designed specifically for investigators, study coordinators, and site staff responsible for entering data, resolving queries, and completing eCRFs.
- Certification: Participants receive a certificate of completion upon finishing the course, which can be filed in your site's Investigator Site File (ISF) or training log if required by your study protocol.
- Access: Visit Castor Academy to get started.
2. Printable Role-Based User Guides
