Thank you folks! keep this thread going. Like most of you I also, called the Cereprotec phone number and got no response. This is all a scam to get the Krieger company to make money. I am a recent Graduate from York University, Toronto, and no way in hell can you get a job offer right away without the initial grind. Stay away from EspoirBridge, Kreiger and cereprotec. They are simply bad news. I am calling my local news companies to bring an end to this scam.

Like most of you guys, I always get emails from EspoirBridge and an email from Cereprotec.  I was told to contact the number provided in the email, but the voicebox was always full.  In short, it was just a waste of time trying to call that number.

I have been thinking of registering online for the Kriger CRA certification course, but I have serious doubts if it can help me secure a CRA position in a clinic, hospital, or pharmaceutical company.  It's true that "testimonials" can be found on its website and on this blog as well, but still, those do not prove anything.  Since Kriger is operating a BUSINESS that sells certification programs, one should be wary of such claims.

I have repeatedly asked EspoirBridge about how I can successfully land a job as a CRA, and all their representatives can say is that I should take the certification course offered by Kriger Institute.  RED FLAG THERE!

It seems to me that EspoirBridge, Cereprotec, and Kriger work in a such a way as to entice those who'd like to enter this so-called lucrative industry to take the online course offered by Kriger, which keeps on emailing me with a promotional code to slice USD 780 off the actual online registration free.  It's 100% propaganda, let alone a SCAM.

The best way is to contact employers directly and ask them if they would accept such online certification programs, such as the one offered by Kriger Institute.  For those here who say that they have taken the program and have successfully landed a job somewhere, give us a fool-proof way to verify your claim.  That's all I can say for now!

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.

if bruce threatens is continuing to threaten people, i suggest we alert the press...yes the press...if bruce was smart, he would address these issues, answer our questions and problems instead of just banning post.everyone alert the press about your concern, we have  a right to know the truth

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.
