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 .....

I received a email indicates for interview with the following address.

Sandra Stewert, HR Manager
Cereprotec Inc.
8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave
Suite 1300
PMB # 2010622
Chicago, 60631
United States
Phone:(613) 686-5745
Fax: (773) 305 2566

i tried many times to call the above number , unable to reach

613/686 5745 is a current telephone number. Can you tell me is it real one or not?

I recieved an email from this company stating that they have a job for me. When I call it goes directly to voicemail and I am unable to leave a message. Is this real?

I also called by e-mail and phone both EspoirBridge and Cereprotec and I got no answer back in one week!I am really suprised that I did not any job offer for sure (just a few interviews, some just prescreenings). If there are so many clinical jobs and there is "lack of professionals" (as Espoir Bridge claims), how comes I applied to 200 jobs and got only wasted time? This is frustrating and revolting.

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.

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!
