Basic course for clinical investigators BROK®
For BROK certification, the national e-learning eBROK must be completed. The eBROK consists of a mandatory basic module and a mandatory in-depth module. For each module you receive a separate certificate where the BROK basic certificate is only valid in combination with at least one valid in-depth certificate.

The Basic Course Regulations and Organization for Clinical Investigators (eBROK®) deals with laws and regulations when conducting clinical research and is compulsory for all researchers involved in human-based scientific research that falls under the scope of the WMO. For more information, see the national NFU BROK website. The eBROK also covers the Radboudumc policy regarding human-related research.
After you have completed an eBROK basic or advanced module, the end dates of the associated certificates are registered in the BROK® registry. Purchase the BROK reregistration module annually and keep your certificates up to date!

Purchase the ‘Re-registration eBROK’ module on ebrok.nl every year and keep your certificate valid. When you purchase the re-registration module, you will receive one year of access to the eBROK learning environment.
After obtaining the BROK® certificate, your knowledge will remain up to date by regularly reviewing small pieces of content in the eBROK. Every time you update the basic eBROK and the in depth module(s), the end dates will shift accordingly. You continuously keep your BROK® certificate up to date. The most recent end dates of your basic eBROK and the in depth module(s) can be found in the BROK®-register. You’ll receive reminders so that you do not forget to keep your eBROK valid. If you are late with the re-registration, you will have to take the entire course again! There is no period in which respite is granted.

The BROK is mandatory for researchers who are involved in research subject to the WMO. Researchers must be BROK certified at the start of the study (or the moment their study activities start).
The BROK is recommended for researchers involved in research that is not subject to the WMO. These researchers are obligated to complete the Radboudumc specific e-learning on human-related scientific research.
For more information on training requirements, see the policy guideline on Training.
