Never mind.  Just looked back at previous messages and saw that Clinqua seems to be on the list of scammers.  Come to think of it, also received an email from Kriger with the same $600 special for CRA certification.Best to stick with the tried and true!

OMG, Hi everyone first I would like to say thank you sooo much for all your posts. I recently started getting emails from a so called "recruiter" who states she saw my email via web. Then started emailing me and stating how interested they are in hiring me. Thankfully I caught them early, and suspected something weird was going on.  This person whom I had sent my resume just the other day had asked for an "updated" resume. That did it for me. I looked up "Cereprotec" Co. and found this site! Thanks for all your honesty guys and chicas!   P.S. don't lose hope cause of these creeps!yours CALI GIRL

I doubt the posting above by Bruce Kriger is legitimate ... such poor grammar and spelling for a CEO.  If it truly is a posting by him, I might refer him to a grammar training center located in a nice little coffee shop I know about in Nigeria.

Has anyone ever been to the EspoirBridge office in Manhattan?  It is listed as: 115 East 57th Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY.  Could someone in NYC please swing by and post a picture of the building along with proof that they have an office in the building?  Does anyone know if this recruiting firm really exist? Has anyone ever gotten a job, or even an interview through them? All of the emails I receive from them are full of poor grammar and spelling too.  HMMMM?

Also, has anyone else received helpful information from EspoirBridge on how to apply for CRA training courses?  Does anyone out there know whether or not EspoirBridge receives any royalties for signing up students to IBPA or Kriger????  Does anyone know who owns EspoirBridge and whether there is any  common financial holdings between EspoirBridge, IBPA, or Kriger?

It would be great if anyone could answer any of these questions.

Moira, I did not get any job until now and I am very disappointed. I would not say Kriger's course is a scam (since it seems some people got jobsbut % how many? that's the question...).
But nevertheless the fact it is online (which you should not mention in your resume) and therefore you don't have any contact with patients is not helping you. I got two interviews and in both I was being asked if I really had any experience with patients. I said about project IV (the survey) but this was not enough. It seems it is very HARD to get a Clinical Research job without real experience with patients (and without networking) So hard that now I am desperate and looking for ANY JOB since I really cannot rely on a job that is so hard to get. I have to pay money back to the bank and I will more likely get 2 jobs, even if this means for several months I will virtually have no time for things very important for my future. That's why I registered for that Program, to pay my debts by getting a job in clinical research, not to be buried in debt...

Hi All,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 $1100, 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 agree with “me”, where are other 11 pages of this forum, what's going on? Where are all the comments by J?
I am in the same boat with dozens (or hundreds?) of job seekers who was asked to call and got “mail box is full message”. Honestly I didn’t expect much after browsing through Cereprotec web-site...
Few little things also alerted me like the fact that the other side of the line sounded quiet and not busy as I would expect. As well as Sandra’s last name was spelled differently in her e-mail address and electronic signature (Stewart/Stewert). Not very professional, isn’t it?
I have read all the previous comments of this forum up to the end of the day on Monday, and I just wanted to express my respect to J. He or She seems to be a highly educated and knowledgeable person, with excellent logic and judgement, very polite and straight to the point (despite of all that personal offences that his opponents were using to shut him/her up, ex. “go and find girl friend”). I believe comments like this are highly inappropriate and not related to the subject of discussion in any way. Thank you J, it’s mostly because of your input that I have read through all the discussion, and thank you for providing with valuable links and information.
As for Mr. Krieger behaviour I am shocked that a head of large educational and research organisation, a writer, can be so rude and threatening. By the way somebody mentioned on this web-site or indeed.com, that 3 months of internship with Krieger CRO after graduation from Krieger institute can be qualified as 6 months of industry experience?  How this could be justified? Could anybody explain? Thank you.
