Hello there:
I have been following the discussion and would like to reflect on my experience with Kriger. The CRA course offered by Kriger is very helpful in getting in depth knowledge of clinical research, GCP and practical application of theoretical knowledge during the clinical trials. The flexible arrangement of the course allowed  me, working  full tim,  to succeed.  The final exam is very comprehensive and tests all the areas necessary for the professional to know and function in the field of clinical research. I had to attempt three times before successfully completing final exam. It was not easy and it was a real test of my knowledge. All the material, sources and articles available to students throughout the course are excellent! The projects require practical application of possessed theoretical information. Communications with the instructors, always in a timely way and individualized to specific needs of a student, are very valuable as a source of learning as well.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the course offered by Kriger and I am making use of it, working as a nurse.

So now I have read all of the comments about the fact that most of these companies are scams and I am wonder what probably others are... WHERE CAN I GET TRAINING TO BE A CRA??? I have applied for positions that ask for what seems like minimal experience, and no response. I find tons of openings on Medzilla for CRA's, but I must be a total loser, because I don't get even a "you suck, but thank you for applying" email. I have been a RN for 20 yrs, have my BSN and did about a years work as a CRA 12 yrs ago for a tiny research institute.
I would love to find a job as a CRA and work my way up to being home based and have a stable job! I know it won't happen over night, but I need help finding out how to start the entire process. I keep hitting brick walls because no one wants to hire and train you, and no one wants someone without experience!! It's a catch 22, which is so frustrating I want to scream!!

Can anyone shed some light on what to do? Thank you for anything you have to offer!

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

Kriger gives a chance to foreign graduates and this is the bottom line. You get a degree and get help to obtain a decent job. It is an honest help and is more than welcome.



Start counting how many people complain about Kriger and how many people support Kriger. Simple math.

hi gurdeep... have you taken online programm from kriger research? is that useful for jojbs? is that true. mine is also same story , im getting mails asking me to cal for my job but no responce. pl tel what s going on...

Thanks Greg, I hope at least that i did not pay the course for nothing( i'm kind of in the same situation as you are- no income but a lot of debts). I have the experience with patients but even so i did not get any job offers so maybe i should change my perspectives as well.
