Description
This course aims to bring the student closer to the concept of the Clinical Embryology Laboratory. We will study the technical aspects, physical resources, equipment, functional aspects, procedures, structural and organizational aspects, and quality management.
Important information:
The online course will be carried out through the e-learning platform: IVIRMA Campus. The student will receive a message with the access information and credentials 24/48 hours before the start of the course.
IVIRMA Campus can be accessed from Windows computers (7, 8 or 10) or Mac, using Chrome or Firefox in its last three versions. Access from mobile devices is not supported and does not ensure the correct operation of the course.
To successfully complete the training and obtain the corresponding certificate, the student must obtain a percentage greater than or equal to 70% of correct answers in the final evaluation. To do this, you will have two opportunities to take the exam.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Once the course has started, enrollment cancellation will not be possible, and no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.
Theoretical-practical courses are designed as an indivisible training unit; therefore, no refunds will be granted once the course has begun, even if the practical component has not yet started.
Course Completion
A course will only be considered successfully completed when the student has fully completed the entire program. If the course includes a practical component, it will not be deemed completed unless that component has been fully carried out.
No certificate of completion or attendance will be issued if the student has not completed all the activities included in the course program. Under no circumstances will certificates be issued for partial completion of either the theoretical or practical parts of the course.
