YANA Careers is becoming Wonja Academy. Competency Labs is becoming Wonja Labs.
Read the transition noteBuild only what the role requires.
Academy is the home of the programs formerly delivered as YANA Careers. It turns your diagnostic result into a short, specific plan: the target role, the gaps between you and it, and the live or self-paced learning that closes them.
A plan built from your diagnostic, not a catalogue
Target pathway, current strengths, the gaps to close and the learning selected against them. Already completed the diagnostic? Your own plan lives in the workspace at /app/academy.
Illustrative demo data
Illustrative demo data. Nothing shown here is a real person, result or record.
Diagnostic result
Illustrative demo data- Participant communication
- Clinical documentation
- Protocol application
- Essential documents
- Visit workflow
Recommended learning plan
Closes: Protocol application. Demonstrated in: Protocol interpretation casebook.
Closes: Essential documents. Demonstrated in: Deviation and safety reporting casebook.
Closes: Visit workflow. Demonstrated in: Participant visit conduct simulation.
Why this is recommended: This plan is built from the background you entered, the target role you selected and the gaps the diagnostic identified. Domains you already demonstrate are not repeated back to you, and each item ends at the Labs work that proves it.
Essential documents and the TMF is the least complete item in the plan. It maps to a required coordinator domain that is not yet evidenced.
Continue this moduleGeneric learning costs time you do not have.
Most people start by buying training and hope it points somewhere. Academy inverts that: name the pathway and the gap first, then learn only what closes it, then demonstrate it in Labs.
- A catalogue cannot tell you which gap is holding you back.
- Training bought without a target role rarely converts to readiness.
- Time and money go to material you have already covered.
- Attendance alone does not change how you are read.
Gap first, then learning, then proof
Diagnose
The two-minute diagnostic reads your background, exposure and goals.
Choose a pathway
Pick the recommended role you are aiming at.
See your gaps
The capability domains the role expects that you have not yet shown.
Learn against the gap
Self-paced modules, structured cohorts, coaching or mentorship.
Practice
Role-relevant activity before anything is scored.
Move into Labs
Demonstrate the closed gap through casebooks and practical assessment.
What you can do in Academy
Follow a role pathway
Sequenced learning for coordinator, assistant, monitoring and specialist routes.
Close one domain at a time
Short, focused units mapped to a single capability domain.
Join a structured program
Cohort-based development for people who want pace and accountability.
Work with a coach or mentor
Guided support for transitioners making a first move into research.
Rehearse before assessment
Practice activities that mirror the casebook work you will be scored on.
Track the gap closing
Progress is read against the domains your target role expects.
Start with the diagnostic. Then choose how you want to learn.
Two minutes tells us your starting point and target role. From there Academy splits into two routes: learn on your own schedule, or learn with an instructor and a cohort.
Step one, for everyone
Take the two-minute diagnostic.
It reads your background, exposure and target role, then points you at the route that fits: learn on your own schedule, or learn with a cohort and a coach.
Route A
Self-paced courses
Short, specific courses you take on your own schedule, priced individually or included in the all-in-one subscription.

Best for: People closing a named gap, or adding a specialty.
Route B
Coaching programs
Live instruction, a cohort and a coach, mapped to the tier your diagnostic points at.
- Entry level into the 6-week CRC program
- Site professionals into Site to CRA
- Experienced professionals into the Leadership tier
Best for: People making a role change who want pace and accountability.
Three tiers. Your diagnostic points at one of them.
Live instruction with a cohort and a coach. Each tier ends in Labs, where the work you have practised is demonstrated and scored.

What our trainer accreditation means, and what it does not.
Rudy Malle personally holds a current Q-IAOCR accreditation as an Internationally Qualified Clinical Research Trainer, Trainer No. 16167194. Every Wonja Academy program is designed and delivered by Rudy, so learners are trained by an IAOCR Accredited Trainer.
What it means
- The accreditation recognises Rudy Malle's individual knowledge, teaching competence and ongoing professional standards as a clinical research trainer.
- IAOCR accredits individual trainers, not training providers, curricula or courses.
What it does not imply
- Wonja is not itself an IAOCR-accredited organisation.
- No Wonja Academy program, curriculum, course or cohort is IAOCR-accredited, IAOCR-approved or IAOCR-certified.
- A Wonja Academy certificate of completion is issued by Wonja only. It is not an IAOCR certificate, credential or licence.
- Completing a Wonja Academy program does not confer any IAOCR accreditation on the learner.
Tell us where you are and which program fits.
Short form. We reply within one business day with cohort dates, format and next steps. Submitting an application is not an offer of a place.
Academy builds. Labs proves.
Starts at the diagnostic
Nothing is recommended until your starting point is known.
Ends at a casebook
Each pathway hands off to the Labs work that evidences it.
Feeds the Passport indirectly
Learning alone does not create a record. Demonstrated work does.
Supports Talent
Job-search support, recruiter introductions and interview preparation continue in Wonja Talent.
Clear limits
- Not a qualification. Academy completion is not a professional qualification or regulatory approval.
- Not evidence on its own. Completing learning does not create a Passport. Demonstrated work does.
