congratulations dude, I've read the comments and I tried to post one but I need password for it...1. A forum is for people to share their opinions with a specific company, both positive and negative. This negative comment does not have to be approved by a corporate b*****d since it is not addressed to him and it is not his corporate website. If I say a took a specific CRA course and I did not like it since it was full with mistakes, redundant, without any logic and rationale and of very very poor  quality I just express an opinion. And it helps even the company, who may want to improve the quality of the course.2. If someone posts negative comments about a company, this reflects personal experience, and this is the very reason why people use forums and blogs. Of course, we assume honest individuals do that, not people from other companies who try to denigrate other companies (which I don't think it happens very often, only paranoid and very stupid people belive in "hidden agendas" and conspiration theories). But what such very stupid people don't realize is that by becoming histerical and behaving in a stalinist manner does not help, actually on the contrary.

I received an email for a CRA position today from the following company:
ClinQua Clinical Trials Inc.
4370 La Jolla Village Drive
San Diego, 92122-1249
Tel.  (858) 605-1793
www.clinqua.com
a.bale @ clinqua.com
USA

Yes! I also received an email from the above company with same matter.
They are the fraud people. They have robbed me for USD1600.00 through online course of certification of clinical research professional development. No job ever landed till today since I have completed the course in Aug.2008
No organization, no company ever recognize the Kriger, IBPA.
Be careful with these two names for any online material and enticement.

"I have completed the Kriger Course. I do not recommend it. Although there are tons of information, the content was disorganized. Lots of grammar and spelling mistakes made it hard to understand the point at times. There was no way to print out online content (for reading whenever you feel like), many employers do not recognize the projects you do, and finally, you do not get feedback to the assignments you send in. If you do have a question, it takes a couple of days for a reply, and the replies i received were usually one-word answers"

yes, this is what I was thinking too. no one invited kriger here or on other forums. we should start by sharing e-mail addresses or ids for yahoo messenger for the beginning.

it is very frustrating to enter on forums where you are supposed to get info and to deal with people who just come to spy and intimidate people. if they have so much time, they should use it in a clever way. e.g. they should focus on providing good quality courses (without hundreds or even thousands of mistakes!)and not on spying people on forums. or at least get a life.

as long as the courses are of very poor quality and therefore the certificate and the letter of reference) are not accepted my anyone the problem will persist. but I really don't think he gets the idea

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.

You will never get any job from these people.They are the expert in cheating and robbing to the public over the internet.
