Individual Qualification Certification
The IQC TES course, and all IQC Certification Programs are not designed to assist you in cheating the API TES Exam process, or compromise the integrity of any other Individual Certification Programs! IQCIA has a mission to make sure people are Qualified through a intense 5 day training course, tested (over 1500 total questions) and graded based on the SMART Testing System.
