I also called by e-mail and phone both EspoirBridge and Cereprotec and I got no answer back in one week!I am really suprised that I did not any job offer for sure (just a few interviews, some just prescreenings). If there are so many clinical jobs and there is "lack of professionals" (as Espoir Bridge claims), how comes I applied to 200 jobs and got only wasted time? This is frustrating and revolting.

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.

darn, im the most stupid here on earth!!! can we still get our money back if we used credit card? is there a way? please tell me im so darn depressed!

J, I got several calls after I completed the course.The problem is that most companies ask for at least 1-2 years of experience and Kriger gives you only 6 months. It is a good start but it may not be enough (they need someone with a lot of experience since you are responsible for volunteers' safety) so what you can do is to work for 6 months in a different position, for example as Clinical Research Coordinator.

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 research
associate just to make sure we are on the same
page.

It is extremely difficult to talk to employer if
the candidates
don'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 certificate
through  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 to
your CRA experience and they provide job
references.
3. They are recognised by The International
Biopharmaceutical
Association and tuition fees are partialy covered
through this
organization. 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 a
referring recruiter, this will make it more
plausible that you get a good
percentage of coverage.)

I have placed many of KRGI grads, so it is
natural for me to be a
strong proponent of this program.

Usually  this training takes  6-8 weeks to
complete. But it is totaly
self-paced program, and they issue a password for
3 months, that
can be extended later.

This is on-line training, and there is nothing
wrong with that.

Im happy to have read this. I came across their site. They have been sendin me messages nonstop and finally found this page. I was never going to pay up front with the guarantee of gettin a job first,and not just hearing it from them. They are a money making company and would advice anyone who is interested not to fall for their interests without logic. I would advice to check it with a career advisor and companies who employ before believing in these loosers.Thanks and laters.
