Why would y'all mention these concerns on an obscure blog?  Why not with BBB or a state or fed attorny general? I checked Kriger out with Better Business Bureau and found no unresolved problems.  And the 3 resolved problems were all billing not content or ethics.  I'm not defending Kriger aka EspoirBridge aka IBPA aka Clinqua aka whatever (although the training they give is true if out-of-date) but if you have proof (I don't) then take it to the authorities so that fplks like me don't fall for this.By the way "Someone with a brain", you DO have to pay for a job - college or training (like KRC offers).

Well Done Robert. Please go ahead, call the Secretary of State in NY. I am with you. See that poor guy Gurdeep, calling Cereprotec since morning.

The BBB has a rating of "F" for this company! That's all I needed to see!!!!!

This company has been calling me to sign up for their certification and says that they have jobs they will give out to those certified by their company. Is this true? are they registered with the BBB? what about clinqua clinical trials inc in san diego? does anyone have information on them? they are not registered with the BBB either.

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.

Hello, I have been contacted by KRC/IBPA/ClinQua few times reagrding the openings and I have been getting the invitations for the training for probably 3 years now. I have been considering doing a training with - which (considering there scholarship) occurs to me as not very expensive - thats is about how much it costs at Universities (I currently work for one of the major university in Chicago and 3 day training is $1200). However this blog does bring concern about the validity and employment opportunities after the training are minimal if they exist at all. I am currently waiting for the call from Gemma Garnett- there admissions officer - will keep you updated.
