This company has been calling me to sign up for their certification and says that they have jobs they will give out to those certified by their company. Is this true? are they registered with the BBB? what about clinqua clinical trials inc in san diego? does anyone have information on them? they are not registered with the BBB either.

I am just trying to send out a message about how Kriger institute and/or Espoir bridge consultants are a big bogus... They have material ( I am not even sure which is up to date)on line and by making you pay $1600, they grant you access to that material.They promise resume writing , job placement, towards that they send you couple of generally advertised positions..You must be wondering why this is bogus... B'caz at the end of each chapter there will be a question, you do research and send in the answer, immediately followed by your answer they send you another answer (auto reply mode) and they never correct your answer not they give you feed back..It gets better listen to this, there are topics like CRF (Clinical report forms) and absolutely what they have what in reality they look like are completely different...I am so desperate for my money that  I even want to go to court and get my money back..But at least if you are in the market for a good  CRA certification program, all I can advise you is not to go with Kriger and don't get cheated by their website as i did

"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"http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... 784100?myst=200

I am not the type to take the time to post anything anywhere, but I find this important if not amusing.  I recently came across EB while looking for other opportunities within industry.  After sending my CV to what seemed like a legitimate recruitment agency, my email box has started to fill with the same spam as mentioned above including the contact from Clinqua even the same HR rep.  Something did not smell right, so I did some looking and my next email is going to be to a friend of mine in the San Diego Attorney General?s office.  Not that much can be done, but maybe a call to the "HR Manager" will make this operation worry a little.     A few points of interest for the sake of helping others:*For what it is worth, I am a hiring manager within industry, I am certified CCRA, and I have some years of experience.  The first email from EB implied that I needed experience, certification, and more education (I have an MS/MBA).  First Flag  *I have outsourced to CROs for clinical studies; however, I have never heard of Clinqua until now.  After looking around on the internet, I cannot say for sure if the name Clinqua is a real CRO that somehow was drug into this, but it would seem that I would have heard of them before as my business address is XXXX La Jolla Village drive.  -Their office building should be down the street from mine.  Funny, I have never heard of a vendor that I should be going to lunch with.  Shame on their BD staff.  *To answer a few questions I have seen, yes, you can get hired as a CRA without a certification (I have done it).  It is not as easy, but I would hire an experienced CRA with a good resume over a less experienced CRA with all the degrees and certifications out there (experience = job).  The employer should agree to pay for any certification or at least assist with paying for it.  Look to ACRA and SOCRA for resources.  Other sources are out there, but do get hooked into being a victim.  Best of Luck

Thanks Greg, I hope at least that i did not pay the course for nothing( i'm kind of in the same situation as you are- no income but a lot of debts). I have the experience with patients but even so i did not get any job offers so maybe i should change my perspectives as well.

Guys,

I am heartbroken,So this Espoirbridge,kriger thing is a huge scam.No doubt I applied to a lot of companies,but i didn't get a single call from anyone and I paid $1300 for the course.And now I think about it this Cliniqa thing is a big scam too.I was sent an e-mail saying that there as a immediate need for clinical research people and I kept calling the San Dieago number like a fool over and over again but nothing.

What do I do now,all my hopes crashed.I dont know what to do.
Where do I go from here.
