ARGW: Argus Tool Workflow
At Qtech-Sol, we specialize in training clinical research and drug safety professionals to work with industry-leading tools and systems. The Argus Tool Workflow (ARGW) program is designed for individuals who want to master Oracle Argus Safety, the most widely used pharmacovigilance (PV) database system in the pharmaceutical industry.
This program provides a hands-on, role-based learning experience, equipping learners with the essential knowledge and skills required to manage safety data effectively and ensure compliance with global pharmacovigilance regulations
As a trained Argus Safety professional, you will play a critical role in handling case processing, database navigation, regulatory reporting, and signal management — essential functions in today’s drug safety environment
.
SIP – Self-Paced Online with Support
- Course Duration: 3 weeks (80 hours)
- Format: Self-Paced Online with Support (narrated lessons, readings, quizzes, and role-based tasks).
Learners enrolling in the Argus Tool Workflow (ARGW) program should have a basic understanding of drug safety principles and computer skills. Familiarity with the clinical research process (Phases I–IV), adverse events (AEs/SAEs), and pharmacovigilance concepts is expected. Awareness of regulatory guidelines such as FDA, EMA, ICH-GCP, HIPAA, and 21 CFR Part 11 is helpful. Comfort with Microsoft Office, database navigation, and accurate data entry or coding is required, with exposure to MedDRA/WHO-DD being an advantage. Prior experience with PV tools like ArisG or MedDRA is beneficial but not mandatory. Key attributes include strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective written communication for narrative writing.
