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

today I had an interview and I don't think they will call me again. why? because  they were not impressed by the paper from Kriger, they asked me specifically if I REALLY HAD CONTACT WITH PATIENTS. and it is not the  first time I hear this question

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.

hey you guys,
there is a supposed company in san diego called clinqua clinical trials. when you call, the "manager" tells you that he has positions for those signed up for the certificate. however, i called BBB and this "huge" company is not listed, neither is kriger or espoirbridge. Also, i knew it was fishy because i called up random pharm companies and none of them recognize this certificate. i really dont know what to do myself, because 1500 is alot for someone who does not work.

I am so grateful to have found this thread as I was contemplating a course with them but finding that they seemed to have an "uncanny connection" with each other.  This was most evident when I submitted an application to Kriger for a scholarship and within seconds an email "magically" appeared in my inbox from EspoirBridge before I even received the automatic confirmation from Kriger.  Bear in mind that I had not mentioned EspoirBridge in my scholarsip application at any point!!!  Very interesting!Also I do have a certification and some limited research experience but the letter was written as though it were a form letter and reiterated comments about how I had "no experience."   Smells very funny---

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.
