hey you guys,there is a supposed company in san diego called clinqua clinical trials. when you call, the "manager" tells you that he has positions for those signed up for the certificate. however, i called BBB and this "huge" company is not listed, neither is kriger or espoirbridge. Also, i knew it was fishy because i called up random pharm companies and none of them recognize this certificate. i really dont know what to do myself, because 1500 is alot for someone who does not work.

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.

There were 11 pages of comments on this forum. What happened? Did Kriger threaten this forum too???

yes Kim, I am in the same situation. This is how some people make money, by selling hope and untruthful promises. Disgusting. I hope to go back to school soon and to get rid of this kind of people.MAURICE

I have received dubious job offers from Cereprotec, Biorole, Pharmalef, EspoirBrigde and Clinqua. They all belong to Krieger research and eventually refer you to go take a course with them. They don't care if you already have a good and solid education or experience in the field. It is strange that for all of these companies, after they ask you to call them to discuss the posiytion or for a phone interview, not even a single soul is in these so-called "reputable" companies to take your call; and no one ever call you back. Espoirbridge even referred me to the IBPA which strangely offered me a scholarship that can only be used at Krieger for the CRA certificate program. I read another forum on indeed and found that Krieger research and its associates are all dupes! I took the Clinical Research Program at George Washington, which is more expensive, but very much worth it. Besides you can't go wrong with an established institution. Forget about Krieger, Biorole, Pharmalef, Espoirbridge, Cereprotec, Clinqua and the so many other aliases that this phony people can adopt.
Good luck!

it is all not about a certificate but i think this course really gives you a knowledge about a clinical research. it does not work the way that if you have theri certificate you could be 100% sure you got the job, but it is not that you loose if you have it! if anyone who does not have the knowledge about clinical research and has some money to invest is interested in this course should take it. i am happy with what i have learned from them!
