OMG. I can't believe i just take the time to read something about this company Kriger... It is suck!!!! I am currently taking the course and they offered me a job $60.000 annually as soon as i finish the course, but with the comments i realize that i should did this before, I pay the whole course hoping to get a job because I'm unemployed. This is very frustrating. I was so happy because I was thinking this was true. But i just remember this is too good to be true.

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.

I noticed something strange was going on when I received VERY similar emails from both Kriger and EspoirBridge.  The funny thing was, I applied to the job through EspoirBridge first, then I got to looking around for CRA certification courses and found Kriger.  Even without receiving recommendations from either company, I knew they were related by the way you are asked to verify your email address.  I started to investigate and found this wonderful thread!  Phew!  Thank goodness I didn't have enough money to register for the CRA course, yet!  Thanks to everyone for your comments!

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 b*****d 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.

That's not true a few of my friends took the certification offered by kriger international and yes it helps!

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.
