This is what I got the Espoir Bridge. These guys are really idiots, they keep sending me the same e-mail regarding registering for Kriger's CRA even if I already told them I completed the course. Gues how many times they sent this e-mail? At least 15-20 times.Just read how they do advertising for Kriger. By the way, the last phrase is really STUPID.  Hello ,I hope you are doing well. Please use this e-mail:info @ espoirbridge.com  - I review it more frequently.Let me tell you more about getting a job of clinical researchassociate just to make sure we are on the same page.It is extremely difficult to talk to employer if the candidatesdon't have clinical research experience and/or training.If you are determined to pursue with CRA career path, I would strongly recommend you to obtain GCP / CRA certificatethrough  training and certification  program, if you didn't do it in the past. There are many clinical research associate programs available on the internet.Very few of them include practical part.If you ask me, I'd recommend KRGI Training program: http://www.krgi.org/training/and this is because:1. It is, apperently, the largest CRA training institution in the world 2. They have an internship  included in the program that adds up toyour CRA experience and they provide job references.3. They are recognised by The International BiopharmaceuticalAssociation and tuition fees are partialy covered through thisorganization. Here is an application form:http://www.ibpassociation.org/app_forms/uk_form.php(If you decide to apply - use our institution ref number - "EspoirBridge - code CR12" as areferring recruiter, this will make it more plausible that you get a goodpercentage of coverage.)I have placed many of KRGI grads, so it is natural for me to be astrong proponent of this program.Usually  this training takes  6-8 weeks to complete. But it is totalyself-paced program, and they issue a password for 3 months, thatcan be extended later.This is on-line training, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Like most of you guys, I always get emails from EspoirBridge and an email from Cereprotec.  I was told to contact the number provided in the email, but the voicebox was always full.  In short, it was just a waste of time trying to call that number.

I have been thinking of registering online for the Kriger CRA certification course, but I have serious doubts if it can help me secure a CRA position in a clinic, hospital, or pharmaceutical company.  It's true that "testimonials" can be found on its website and on this blog as well, but still, those do not prove anything.  Since Kriger is operating a BUSINESS that sells certification programs, one should be wary of such claims.

I have repeatedly asked EspoirBridge about how I can successfully land a job as a CRA, and all their representatives can say is that I should take the certification course offered by Kriger Institute.  RED FLAG THERE!

It seems to me that EspoirBridge, Cereprotec, and Kriger work in a such a way as to entice those who'd like to enter this so-called lucrative industry to take the online course offered by Kriger, which keeps on emailing me with a promotional code to slice USD 780 off the actual online registration free.  It's 100% propaganda, let alone a SCAM.

The best way is to contact employers directly and ask them if they would accept such online certification programs, such as the one offered by Kriger Institute.  For those here who say that they have taken the program and have successfully landed a job somewhere, give us a fool-proof way to verify your claim.  That's all I can say for now!

hi
thanku every one .i also got same mail frm espior actually i was abt to join this but after reading ur comments i dropped it

I too took the Kriger CRA course and found it quite informational. It's just landing a job as entry level that's so dang hard. Yet, how do you get the experience w/o 1st starting at the entry level!!! Someone I talked to at Espoir Bridge actually had Ms. Stewart at Cereprotec call me. I emailed/faxed all they needed and was sent via email the Protocol for the Phase-IIa trials for Cereprotex. Then, have sent a few messages to them and now have heard nothing for 2 years! I think funding is the main issue here.

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.

You will never get any job from these people.
They are the expert in cheating and robbing to the public over the internet.
