I noticed that more than one discussion forum on the subject of espoirbridge, cereprotec, kriger, etc, has mysteriously disappeared. A discussion on indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... c137e1e737d4204)disappeared. Several pages of this discussion also disappeared.I'd like to invite people to continue the talk at http://rantawaythoseblues.blogspot.com/I created the space so that this discussion can continue, even if this particular thread is taken down. Please bookmark it!Hope to hear more from all of you.

Yea, I had the same emails from Espior and Cereprotec. Actually I did spoke to someone on that number for an initial screening interview, where I was told that if shortlisted I would be contacted by March end. But than 2 days  nlater I got an email from Cereprotec asking that they urgently need to fill-up the positions and I need to call them immediately. But then I had the same story, voice mail is full and nobody replies to your email.

My condolences to those who fail for the scam. Including myself.  1500 bucks down the drain. I've been a CRA for 8 years now but no thanks to this scam.  If you have the money to pay, take courses offered by SOCRA or ACRP.

This certificate is not essential to have a CRA job. Big compagnies will offer this kind of traning. I never had this certificate and I am in the interview process to apply for a job. They never asked me if I have the certificate.
Cereprotec, Pharmalef, espoirbridge and Kriger are pushing to let us take the certificate. What a shame. When you call pharmalef it's a general answering machine (Tel/fax). I sent a big E-mail to Espoirbridge to let them answering about all this Sh... but I never received any.
I asked to stop sending their reference code because I don't need it. But with their electronic system, they can't stop. I don't know if their is humans behind this company. Strange .....

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

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.
