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 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!

Regarding the emails asking us to call urgent for some jobs and as an answer to Bruce: I did  write a few emails to info @ cereprotec.com, as well as to s.stewart @ cereprotec.com with different inquiries regarding the company and this after i received the same urgent email that everybody else recieved and believe it or not i never got any answer( what a surprise). I think we should report this as a fraud, we all gave a lot of personal information to who knows...

Cereprotec now has an office address and a copy of a patent application on its website. Google does show an office block at that address so no comment on its veracity but there is no trace of the patent filed at the US Patent & Trademark Office. The law firm exists and has filed many patent applications but this isn't among them. The title is fishy too; I can't find any indication that glycolurils have been used in biological research let alone developed as potential medication.

I also checked out some of the companies listed on the Kriger website; all of the ones I looked at do their own recruiting. Neither could I find any sign of accreditation for education/training that is recognised by the US or Canada.

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
