J, I got several calls after I completed the course.

The problem is that most companies ask for at least 1-2 years of experience and Kriger gives you only 6 months. It is a good start but it may not be enough (they need someone with a lot of experience since you are responsible for volunteers' safety) so what you can do is to work for 6 months in a different position, for example as Clinical Research Coordinator.

It would appear that both Cereprotec and Espoir Bridge are shells.  They do not have offices and no legitimate business locations that can be ascertained.  I have calls into the Secretary of State in NY as well as IL concerning their scam.

I will agree with all of the above comments. This is definitely a scam, which should be reported. About 10 months back I was also contacted by a so called recruiter who said that my qualifications match with most of the jobs they have, the only thing lacking was a certification in ICH-GCP Guidelines. The agency sent another email that based on my qualification I could get a partial scholarship for this online course. This person also said that once I am done with this 'so called CRA/CRC Professional Development program' I will be offered a job at some affiliated CRO.I decided to go ahead and it has beennearly six months and I have not heard from this company. The institute I was referred for training was the 'Clinical Research Training Institute'.All my efforts to contact the recruiter both by phone and via email have gone invain. This is a big scam so be aware. These recruiters and these intitutes whether Krieger or the CRTI are affiliated and they are there to fool people,make money and the surprising thing is that they get away with these scams. Something has to be done to stop these people in making fools of gullable individuals desperate to get jobs.

I have an email stating that this company Cereprotec is in Chicago, but I do believe that 613/686 5745 is a Canadian telephone number.  Can you tell me if this is a legitimate company and where they are located.

not specifically with EspoirBridge, but with another recruitment company (and not for a clinical research position).

They promised to contact me as soon as they get my references (mentioned: 1 day after) but they did not do so in almost one month. Also, they lied, on one hand they confirmed they got my references but later they just denied that, even if I have proof they really received it. Probably to cover up their incompetence. Anyway, I have supporting proofs that I did everything right.

Since this is unprofessional I requested they remove all my data and never call me again. Anyway, the last message from them (even if I specifically asked them not to call me again) was insulting: "short temper","lack of understanding" and "offence" (they only thing I said was that this situation proved no coordination and proper managemanent of papers.

I mentioned that I don't want them to call me again, I want that they remove all my data and that any inconveniences caused by them in the future will be legally handled.

To sum up, it is shocking how rude and unprofessional these people are, even if they make money from people like you. They show not respect but not even elementary education, poor manners and disgusting behaviour and therefore I decided to avoid such questionable individuals in the future.

I am trying to contact EspoirBridge, but the mail box is full.Any suggestion  how to reach them?
