OMG. I can't believe i just take the time to read something about this company Kriger... It is suck!!!! I am currently taking the course and they offered me a job $60.000 annually as soon as i finish the course, but with the comments i realize that i should did this before, I pay the whole course hoping to get a job because I'm unemployed. This is very frustrating. I was so happy because I was thinking this was true. But i just remember this is too good to be true.

Dear Robert A. Williams,
I am writing on behalf of Cereprotec.
can I give you a call and clear up this issue?

I have received dubious job offers from Cereprotec, Biorole, Pharmalef, EspoirBrigde and Clinqua. They all belong to Krieger research and eventually refer you to go take a course with them. They don't care if you already have a good and solid education or experience in the field. It is strange that for all of these companies, after they ask you to call them to discuss the posiytion or for a phone interview, not even a single soul is in these so-called "reputable" companies to take your call; and no one ever call you back. Espoirbridge even referred me to the IBPA which strangely offered me a scholarship that can only be used at Krieger for the CRA certificate program. I read another forum on indeed and found that Krieger research and its associates are all dupes! I took the Clinical Research Program at George Washington, which is more expensive, but very much worth it. Besides you can't go wrong with an established institution. Forget about Krieger, Biorole, Pharmalef, Espoirbridge, Cereprotec, Clinqua and the so many other aliases that this phony people can adopt.
Good luck!

My condolences to those who fail for the scam. Including myself.  1500 bucks down the drain. I've been a CRA for 8 years now but no thanks to this scam.  If you have the money to pay, take courses offered by SOCRA or ACRP.

I doubt the posting above by Bruce Kriger is legitimate ... such poor grammar and spelling for a CEO. ?If it truly is a posting by him, I might refer him to a grammar training center located in a nice little coffee shop I know about in Nigeria.Has anyone ever been to the EspoirBridge office in Manhattan?  It is listed as: 115 East 57th Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY.  Could someone in NYC please swing by and post a picture of the building along with proof that they have an office in the building?  Does anyone know if this recruiting firm really exist? Has anyone ever gotten a job, or even an interview through them? All of the emails I receive from them are full of poor grammar and spelling too.  HMMMM?Also, has anyone else received helpful information from EspoirBridge on how to apply for CRA training courses?  Does anyone out there know whether or not EspoirBridge receives any royalties for signing up students to IBPA or Kriger????  Does anyone know who owns EspoirBridge and whether there is any  common financial holdings between EspoirBridge, IBPA, or Kriger?It would be great if anyone could answer any of these questions.

I would really like to agree with the bunny bunny,If you have a MSc or BA in any health science (MD,Pharmacy,Dentist,Registered Nurse) or even microbiology, molecular biology etc. you can become a CRA if you are persistent enough . Training programs are more or less a smart way for getting "experience" even if you don't have it. But if you manage to enter to a CRA position you will see that every normal CRO or Pharma company has their own training program. I would recommend (for the Europe) British recruiters specialized in the field of Clinical Research .(Barrington- James ,Square One Pharma,Hays Pharma,Talentmark etc...). Also make yourself VISIBLE , make LinkedIn profile , put your CV to Pharmiweb and similar Job hunting sites for Pharma industry.Take a GCP cource , there is a dozen online GCP courses. Apply for the CTA and then progress to CRA . Know the EU Directives for Clinical Trials, GCP, FDA regulation,   familiarize yourself with the Clinical research terms (can be easily found on the internet), join the free forums for the clinical research. Most important, believe in yourself and never give up. During a year there are several job opportunities in every country for a person without previous CRA experience ( I worked in Quality Assurance and after a year I started working as a CRA). Find someone who is already working as a CRA.Therefore, it is really important to be VISIBLE on the internet if you want to be notified immediately about new job openings.Good luck.
