People should also be wary of the following:http://medicaldevicesnews.com/http://regulatoryaffairstoday.com/These websites are very similar with some links to a "real" website concerning industry news, however other links are CLEARLY slanted toward Kriger, Cereprotex, ClinProxy, ClinQua, etc. An independant repubitable biotech news site would not try to drive its viewers toward certain companies, it would simply present jobs and related information. For a "real" website check out http://www.biospace.com/I did a search for Linkedin of Clinproxy and only two people showed up...very suspicious for a worldwide company.Please dont fall for these antics...I have worked for clinical organizations  for 10 years at Merck, Hoffman, to name a few...If a company is interested they will provide you with training for free. Or at least assist you finanically for any "specialized" training. I agree one should check out www.socra.org, www.acrpnet.org, and www.scdm.org for getting a start to getting into the clinical industry or further advancement. Not this Kriger scam.

"I have completed the Kriger Course. I do not recommend it. Although there are tons of information, the content was disorganized. Lots of grammar and spelling mistakes made it hard to understand the point at times. There was no way to print out online content (for reading whenever you feel like), many employers do not recognize the projects you do, and finally, you do not get feedback to the assignments you send in. If you do have a question, it takes a couple of days for a reply, and the replies i received were usually one-word answers"http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... 784100?myst=200

Dear Robert A. Williams,I am writing on behalf of Cereprotec.can I give you a call and clear up this issue?

Oh man, I have the same story.  I got an 'urgent' email from Cereprotec, same address shown as Prasad's from India, talking about my 'application'.  I am nearly finished with Kriger, but still have to do the article submission and take the exam.  I have not applied for any CRA positions, so I don't know what they are talking about with the 'application' bit.  I will definitely be cautious.  Glad I decided to check out this company.Thanks,Jerilyn

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 bastard 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.

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.
