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 [***] 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.

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.

Hello there:
I have been following the discussion and would like to reflect on my experience with Kriger. The CRA course offered by Kriger is very helpful in getting in depth knowledge of clinical research, GCP and practical application of theoretical knowledge during the clinical trials. The flexible arrangement of the course allowed  me, working  full tim,  to succeed.  The final exam is very comprehensive and tests all the areas necessary for the professional to know and function in the field of clinical research. I had to attempt three times before successfully completing final exam. It was not easy and it was a real test of my knowledge. All the material, sources and articles available to students throughout the course are excellent! The projects require practical application of possessed theoretical information. Communications with the instructors, always in a timely way and individualized to specific needs of a student, are very valuable as a source of learning as well.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the course offered by Kriger and I am making use of it, working as a nurse.

Thanks Greg, I hope at least that i did not pay the course for nothing( i'm kind of in the same situation as you are- no income but a lot of debts). I have the experience with patients but even so i did not get any job offers so maybe i should change my perspectives as well.

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

I doubt the posting above by Bruce Kriger is legitimate ... such poor grammar and spelling for a CEO. ?If it truly is a posting by him, I might refer him to a grammar training center located in a nice little coffee shop I know about in Nigeria.Has anyone ever been to the EspoirBridge office in Manhattan?  It is listed as: 115 East 57th Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY.  Could someone in NYC please swing by and post a picture of the building along with proof that they have an office in the building?  Does anyone know if this recruiting firm really exist? Has anyone ever gotten a job, or even an interview through them? All of the emails I receive from them are full of poor grammar and spelling too.  HMMMM?Also, has anyone else received helpful information from EspoirBridge on how to apply for CRA training courses?  Does anyone out there know whether or not EspoirBridge receives any royalties for signing up students to IBPA or Kriger????  Does anyone know who owns EspoirBridge and whether there is any  common financial holdings between EspoirBridge, IBPA, or Kriger?It would be great if anyone could answer any of these questions.
