Lif Education was established in 1972 as the result of a still increasing need for ensuring that the personnel employed in Lif’s member companies possesses sufficient specialist knowledge to enable them to provide precise and adequate information about medicinal products.

Since the early beginning in 1972, the education has undergone a formalisation and as of 1 April 1995, it has become mandatory to pass the Lif Examination in order to be able to work as a medical sales representative in Lif’s member companies. The Lif Examination always has to be passed when an employee provides information about pharmacy-only medicines – whether these are prescription-only or non-prescription medicinal products.

In addition to the Lif Examination, Lif Education also offers a wide range of further educational courses, e.g. a formalised education in Clinical Research and Drug Development. This education consists of a series of courses, which all are concluded with an examination – Introduction to Clinical Drug Research; Diploma in GCP Monitoring; Clinical Drug Development: Sub Course A – Clinical Pharmacology, Sub Course B – Methodology and Statistics and Sub Course C – Clinical Development Plan. In addition to this series of courses, Lif Education also offers courses in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology.
