OMG. I can't believe i just take the time to read something about this company Kriger... It is suck!!!! I am currently taking the course and they offered me a job $60.000 annually as soon as i finish the course, but with the comments i realize that i should did this before, I pay the whole course hoping to get a job because I'm unemployed. This is very frustrating. I was so happy because I was thinking this was true. But i just remember this is to good to be true.

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.

It's very clear that EspoirBridge is a SCAM.  The scam starts with a phony job posting for a clinical research position.  Once the scam artists receive your resume, you are then immediately being solicited to sign up for an incredibly expensive "training and certification program" in clinical research (with the implication that a well-paid job is waiting for you).  This so-called certification program is not recognized anywhere within the clinical research industry and is completely worthless.  The KRC International website claims to have US business offices in many states, including in Seattle, WA.  In the US, in order for any corporate entity to do business in a state, each state requires a registration process, and such registration information is a matter of public record.  The State of Washington is no exception in that regard.  Neither Krieger International, nor Kriger Research Center Inc., nor KRC Inc. have any sort of registration with the State of Washington. Furthermore, EspoirBridge, Kriger and Cereprotec websites have all been registered in less than two years by the same administrator. In other words, the so-called HR recruiter, the so-called professional certification provider, and the so-called biotech company where research is taking place and where your "future job" is waiting for you, are all concoctions from the same scam artists' imagination.  The worst part of these scams, aside from costing job seekers potentially thousands of dollars they can ill-afford to spend, is wasting job seekers' time while preying on their desire for a well-paying job and vulnerable emotional state.

People should also be wary of the following:http://medicaldevicesnews.com/http://regulatoryaffairstoday.com/These websites are very similar with some links to a "real" website concerning industry news, however other links are CLEARLY slanted toward Kriger, Cereprotex, ClinProxy, ClinQua, etc. An independant repubitable biotech news site would not try to drive its viewers toward certain companies, it would simply present jobs and related information. For a "real" website check out http://www.biospace.com/I did a search for Linkedin of Clinproxy and only two people showed up...very suspicious for a worldwide company.Please dont fall for these antics...I have worked for clinical organizations  for 10 years at Merck, Hoffman, to name a few...If a company is interested they will provide you with training for free. Or at least assist you finanically for any "specialized" training. I agree one should check out www.socra.org, www.acrpnet.org, and www.scdm.org for getting a start to getting into the clinical industry or further advancement. Not this Kriger scam.

Contact you local PD or Federal Bureau of Investigation, or in Canada, the RCMP. What I think is happening here is as follows: EspoirBridge (and maybe others) advertise high paying clinical research associate jobs for companies such as Cereprotec, Pharmalef Developments (and maybe others). These companies have been advertising jobs since last year. When you apply to these jobs, EspoirBridge gets you excited first advertising "no experience needed" and "entry level", but then they back track and tell you need the KRIGER CRA course. And that's how they make their money.

Why do they do it? imagine, if only 300-400 people apply for the job posting (but these jobs are advertised world-wide, so many more will), and let's say only 50% take the course, that's over $200,000 profit. Do this a couple times a year, and you're a millionaire.

THIS IS DEFINATELY SOUNDS LIKE A FRAUD.

To Veni,I would start by making a report to the FTC--https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Take Care-Esther
