Learning Modules

NRG Oncology now offers educational materials and training courses on CLASS for members. These learning modules are available on a voluntary, self-enrollment basis.

What is CLASS?

The Compliance, Learning, and SOP Solutions (CLASS) platform is the learning management system supported by the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU), which is a service of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Everyone with an active CTEP-IAM/ID.me account can access CLASS. Access to NRG-specific modules may be limited by roster membership, roles, or site registration.
