Re Espoirbridge--they never answer. There is no extension for Ms. Williams. Their English is embarrassing to say the least. After I expressed an interest in a supposed position I got tons of spam for CRA classes. Mind you, I am a health professional with a masters. I've also been in industry for over 9 years. It's really sad that they take advantage of people in this economy. Predators to say the least and shame on them.

This is what Kriger and Espoir Bridge won't tell you


"Hello All,
You do not need course work or additional degrees, costing thousands of dollars, in order to break into clinical monitoring. A four-year degree in anything science related will be fine. I have a Ph.D. and wanted to get away from the bench but still get 'credit' for having a higher scientific education. I applied online at the big job websites and called for advice to local research organizations until I got a call back from the HR department of one of the largest CROs in the world. I took a lower-paying job as a trial assistant in exchange for the large company training me on everything I needed to know. I was promoted in ~half the usual time to the CRA role, get multple pay increases per year as well as bonuses, and have been monitoring for nearly 2 years. The key is applying to a large company that can afford the money to train you, avoid signing contracts, and starting at the bottom position. Don't tell the recruiter you 'love to travel', just be clear that you have no problem traveling 3-4 days/wk. You are not applying to be a professional tourist. Read industry magazines to learn the acronyms (CRA, CRO, IRB, DCF, IND, etc). This industry is doing very well and expansion at the large CROs is booming."

I am a former student of Kriger Research Center, Toronto. I got the same e-mail yesterday. Since morning I am trying to contact Cereprotec but no luck. Now  I request Mr. Bruce to call me or write me an email at the address which I used to register for Clinical Research Professional Development program.

Thanks a lot Bruce.

Under the law there activities are legal. Anyone in the US can open a university. There is more than 3000 universities in this country. You pay and take the course and they give you a certification. Now it the responsibility of everyone enrolling to check if the program offered is accredited by the state you live in. If you did not too bad for you and you cannot even sue them. You are only left with a piece of paper employer will probably will not recognize.
