Offered as sector-specific individual certificates or a comprehensive dual certificate, the RAPS Online University certificates give you the knowledge and expertise you need to advance your career in just 6-12 months combined with the self-paced flexibility of e-learning. Unlike the Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC), an exam in which one demonstrates their regulatory skill, there are no eligibility requirements or application deadlines for the RAPS Online University certificate programs.
The dual certificate offers you a way to explore different career path options available to a regulatory affairs professional, and provides you with comprehensive foundational knowledge across sectors.
Please note, RAPS certificate programs do not confer RAC status; the only way to gain RAC status is to take and pass one of the RAC exams.
