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 .....

Why would y'all mention these concerns on an obscure blog?  Why not with BBB or a state or fed attorny general? I checked Kriger out with Better Business Bureau and found no unresolved problems.  And the 3 resolved problems were all billing not content or ethics.  I'm not defending Kriger aka EspoirBridge aka IBPA aka Clinqua aka whatever (although the training they give is true if out-of-date) but if you have proof (I don't) then take it to the authorities so that fplks like me don't fall for this.By the way "Someone with a brain", you DO have to pay for a job - college or training (like KRC offers).

another comment"Never waste money and time with kreiger you will never see any CRA graduated from kreiger they are making money from you if you need to join ask them to give you field experience or internship and if they are willing to do so ask them in written, or pay once you get field internship. indeed kreiger reputation is not good"

No one by the name Bruce Kriger lives in Ontario, Canada. I looked it up on 411.ca. However, Bruce kriger lives in San Diego California on 4370 La Jolla Village Drive San Diego, 92122-1249 the same address that is provided by Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc posing as a hiring company.

BRUCE = KRIGER = ESPOIRBRIDGE = CLINQUA = FRAUD, COMPLETE SCAM

I have been trapped by Kriger with repeated phone calls from Cereprotec and Espiorbridge Recruiters saying that they find my resume good for the career in clinical research.Then they have given couple of people assignment to contact me few times on my cell phone and pretending that it is preliminary interview.Then someone from their Huntsville, Ontario office has called me for my payment information.Unfortunately I have paid USD1600.00 for the online course of clinical research certification with ICH GCP certification.These people are so smart that they even made contract with ACRP foundation to make every Kriger graduate to register for ACRP membership for the first year. This is also make me completely idiot as ACRP later on told me that the organization never accept or even acknowledge the certification from Kriger. So, my USD1600.00 went down the drain.Then, I sent them a strong email regarding this scam, as I was getting an email from Espoirbridge, Cereprotec and IBPA saying that there is a position of CRA in Phase I clinical trial. You have ot do the course from KRGI.These people cheat, and one of the number one fraud organization in cheating variety of individuals on internet. Do not respond to their emails. Just report it to scam busters.

Contact you local PD or Federal Bureau of Investigation, or in Canada, the RCMP. What I think is happening here is as follows: EspoirBridge (and maybe others) advertise high paying clinical research associate jobs for companies such as Cereprotec, Pharmalef Developments (and maybe others). These companies have been advertising jobs since last year. When you apply to these jobs, EspoirBridge gets you excited first advertising "no experience needed" and "entry level", but then they back track and tell you need the KRIGER CRA course. And that's how they make their money.Why do they do it? imagine, if only 300-400 people apply for the job posting (but these jobs are advertised world-wide, so many more will), and let's say only 50% take the course, that's over $200,000 profit. Do this a couple times a year, and you're a millionaire. THIS IS DEFINATELY SOUNDS LIKE A FRAUD.
