Oh man, I have the same story.  I got an 'urgent' email from Cereprotec, same address shown as Prasad's from India, talking about my 'application'.  I am nearly finished with Kriger, but still have to do the article submission and take the exam.  I have not applied for any CRA positions, so I don't know what they are talking about with the 'application' bit.  I will definitely be cautious.  Glad I decided to check out this company.
Thanks,

This is what Kriger and Espoir Bridge won't tell you"Hello All,You do not need course work or additional degrees, costing thousands of dollars, in order to break into clinical monitoring. A four-year degree in anything science related will be fine. I have a Ph.D. and wanted to get away from the bench but still get 'credit' for having a higher scientific education. I applied online at the big job websites and called for advice to local research organizations until I got a call back from the HR department of one of the largest CROs in the world. I took a lower-paying job as a trial assistant in exchange for the large company training me on everything I needed to know. I was promoted in ~half the usual time to the CRA role, get multple pay increases per year as well as bonuses, and have been monitoring for nearly 2 years. The key is applying to a large company that can afford the money to train you, avoid signing contracts, and starting at the bottom position. Don't tell the recruiter you 'love to travel', just be clear that you have no problem traveling 3-4 days/wk. You are not applying to be a professional tourist. Read industry magazines to learn the acronyms (CRA, CRO, IRB, DCF, IND, etc). This industry is doing very well and expansion at the large CROs is booming."this is from (not mine comment)http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... 784100?myst=150

I am a former student of Kriger Research Center, Toronto. I got the same e-mail yesterday. Since morning I am trying to contact Cereprotec but no luck. Now  I request Mr. Bruce to call me or write me an email at the address which I used to register for Clinical Research Professional Development program.

Thanks a lot Bruce.

J, I got several calls after I completed the course.The problem is that most companies ask for at least 1-2 years of experience and Kriger gives you only 6 months. It is a good start but it may not be enough (they need someone with a lot of experience since you are responsible for volunteers' safety) so what you can do is to work for 6 months in a different position, for example as Clinical Research Coordinator.
