Contact you local PD or Federal Bureau of Investigation, or in Canada, the RCMP. What I think is happening here is as follows: EspoirBridge (and maybe others) advertise high paying clinical research associate jobs for companies such as Cereprotec, Pharmalef Developments (and maybe others). These companies have been advertising jobs since last year. When you apply to these jobs, EspoirBridge gets you excited first advertising "no experience needed" and "entry level", but then they back track and tell you need the KRIGER CRA course. And that's how they make their money.

Why do they do it? imagine, if only 300-400 people apply for the job posting (but these jobs are advertised world-wide, so many more will), and let's say only 50% take the course, that's over $200,000 profit. Do this a couple times a year, and you're a millionaire.

THIS IS DEFINATELY SOUNDS LIKE A FRAUD.

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 bastard 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 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.

It's very clear that EspoirBridge is a SCAM.  The scam starts with a phony job posting for a clinical research position.  Once the scam artists receive your resume, you are then immediately being solicited to sign up for an incredibly expensive "training and certification program" in clinical research (with the implication that a well-paid job is waiting for you).  This so-called certification program is not recognized anywhere within the clinical research industry and is completely worthless.  The KRC International website claims to have US business offices in many states, including in Seattle, WA.  In the US, in order for any corporate entity to do business in a state, each state requires a registration process, and such registration information is a matter of public record.  The State of Washington is no exception in that regard.  Neither Krieger International, nor Kriger Research Center Inc., nor KRC Inc. have any sort of registration with the State of Washington. Furthermore, EspoirBridge, Kriger and Cereprotec websites have all been registered in less than two years by the same administrator. In other words, the so-called HR recruiter, the so-called professional certification provider, and the so-called biotech company where research is taking place and where your "future job" is waiting for you, are all concoctions from the same scam artists' imagination.  The worst part of these scams, aside from costing job seekers potentially thousands of dollars they can ill-afford to spend, is wasting job seekers' time while preying on their desire for a well-paying job and vulnerable emotional state.

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