Moira, I did not get any job until now and I am very disappointed. I would not say Kriger's course is a scam (since it seems some people got jobsbut % how many? that's the question...). But nevertheless the fact it is online (which you should not mention in your resume) and therefore you don't have any contact with patients is not helping you. I got two interviews and in both I was being asked if I really had any experience with patients. I said about project IV (the survey) but this was not enough. It seems it is very HARD to get a Clinical Research job without real experience with patients (and without networking) So hard that now I am desperate and looking for ANY JOB since I really cannot rely on a job that is so hard to get. I have to pay money back to the bank and I will more likely get 2 jobs, even if this means for several months I will virtually have no time for things very important for my future. That's why I registered for that Program, to pay my debts by getting a job in clinical research, not to be buried in debt...

Guys,I am heartbroken,So this Espoirbridge,kriger thing is a huge scam.No doubt I applied to a lot of companies,but i didn't get a single call from anyone and I paid $1300 for the course.And now I think about it this Cliniqa thing is a big scam too.I was sent an e-mail saying that there as a immediate need for clinical research people and I kept calling the San Dieago number like a fool over and over again but nothing.What do I do now,all my hopes crashed.I dont know what to do.Where do I go from here.

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.

They just keep calling me to register, even if I already completed their course last year. Until now, they called me to register more than 10 times and even if I told then I already completed the course, they keep e-mailing me. This is stupid.

not specifically with EspoirBridge, but with another recruitment company (and not for a clinical research position).

They promised to contact me as soon as they get my references (mentioned: 1 day after) but they did not do so in almost one month. Also, they lied, on one hand they confirmed they got my references but later they just denied that, even if I have proof they really received it. Probably to cover up their incompetence. Anyway, I have supporting proofs that I did everything right.

Since this is unprofessional I requested they remove all my data and never call me again. Anyway, the last message from them (even if I specifically asked them not to call me again) was insulting: "short temper","lack of understanding" and "offence" (they only thing I said was that this situation proved no coordination and proper managemanent of papers.

I mentioned that I don't want them to call me again, I want that they remove all my data and that any inconveniences caused by them in the future will be legally handled.

To sum up, it is shocking how rude and unprofessional these people are, even if they make money from people like you. They show not respect but not even elementary education, poor manners and disgusting behaviour and therefore I decided to avoid such questionable individuals in the future.

I noticed something strange was going on when I received VERY similar emails from both Kriger and EspoirBridge.  The funny thing was, I applied to the job through EspoirBridge first, then I got to looking around for CRA certification courses and found Kriger.  Even without receiving recommendations from either company, I knew they were related by the way you are asked to verify your email address.  I started to investigate and found this wonderful thread!  Phew!  Thank goodness I didn't have enough money to register for the CRA course, yet!  Thanks to everyone for your comments!
