I agree with “me”, where are other 11 pages of this forum, what's going on? Where are all the comments by J?
I am in the same boat with dozens (or hundreds?) of job seekers who was asked to call and got “mail box is full message”. Honestly I didn’t expect much after browsing through Cereprotec web-site...
Few little things also alerted me like the fact that the other side of the line sounded quiet and not busy as I would expect. As well as Sandra’s last name was spelled differently in her e-mail address and electronic signature (Stewart/Stewert). Not very professional, isn’t it?
I have read all the previous comments of this forum up to the end of the day on Monday, and I just wanted to express my respect to J. He or She seems to be a highly educated and knowledgeable person, with excellent logic and judgement, very polite and straight to the point (despite of all that personal offences that his opponents were using to shut him/her up, ex. “go and find girl friend”). I believe comments like this are highly inappropriate and not related to the subject of discussion in any way. Thank you J, it’s mostly because of your input that I have read through all the discussion, and thank you for providing with valuable links and information.
As for Mr. Krieger behaviour I am shocked that a head of large educational and research organisation, a writer, can be so rude and threatening. By the way somebody mentioned on this web-site or indeed.com, that 3 months of internship with Krieger CRO after graduation from Krieger institute can be qualified as 6 months of industry experience?  How this could be justified? Could anybody explain? Thank you.

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 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.Gurdeep

Kriger gives a chance to foreign graduates and this is the bottom line. You get a degree and get help to obtain a decent job. It is an honest help and is more than welcome.



Start counting how many people complain about Kriger and how many people support Kriger. Simple math.

I will agree with all of the above comments. This is definitely a scam, which should be reported. About 10 months back I was also contacted by a so called recruiter who said that my qualifications match with most of the jobs they have, the only thing lacking was a certification in ICH-GCP Guidelines. The agency sent another email that based on my qualification I could get a partial scholarship for this online course. This person also said that once I am done with this 'so called CRA/CRC Professional Development program' I will be offered a job at some affiliated CRO.I decided to go ahead and it has been
nearly six months and I have not heard from this company. The institute I was referred for training was the 'Clinical Research Training Institute'.All my efforts to contact the recruiter both by phone and via email have gone invain. This is a big scam so be aware. These recruiters and these intitutes whether Krieger or the CRTI are affiliated and they are there to fool people,make money and the surprising thing is that they get away with these scams. Something has to be done to stop these people in making fools of gullable individuals desperate to get jobs.

congratulations dude, I've read the comments and I tried to post one but I need password for it...1. A forum is for people to share their opinions with a specific company, both positive and negative. This negative comment does not have to be approved by a corporate b*****d since it is not addressed to him and it is not his corporate website. If I say a took a specific CRA course and I did not like it since it was full with mistakes, redundant, without any logic and rationale and of very very poor  quality I just express an opinion. And it helps even the company, who may want to improve the quality of the course.2. If someone posts negative comments about a company, this reflects personal experience, and this is the very reason why people use forums and blogs. Of course, we assume honest individuals do that, not people from other companies who try to denigrate other companies (which I don't think it happens very often, only paranoid and very stupid people belive in "hidden agendas" and conspiration theories). But what such very stupid people don't realize is that by becoming histerical and behaving in a stalinist manner does not help, actually on the contrary.
