This is what Kriger and Espoir Bridge won't tell you"Hello All,You do not need course work or additional degrees, costing thousands of dollars, in order to break into clinical monitoring. A four-year degree in anything science related will be fine. I have a Ph.D. and wanted to get away from the bench but still get 'credit' for having a higher scientific education. I applied online at the big job websites and called for advice to local research organizations until I got a call back from the HR department of one of the largest CROs in the world. I took a lower-paying job as a trial assistant in exchange for the large company training me on everything I needed to know. I was promoted in ~half the usual time to the CRA role, get multple pay increases per year as well as bonuses, and have been monitoring for nearly 2 years. The key is applying to a large company that can afford the money to train you, avoid signing contracts, and starting at the bottom position. Don't tell the recruiter you 'love to travel', just be clear that you have no problem traveling 3-4 days/wk. You are not applying to be a professional tourist. Read industry magazines to learn the acronyms (CRA, CRO, IRB, DCF, IND, etc). This industry is doing very well and expansion at the large CROs is booming."this is from (not mine comment)http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... 784100?myst=150

I noticed that more than one discussion forum on the subject of espoirbridge, cereprotec, kriger, etc, has mysteriously disappeared. A discussion on indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... c137e1e737d4204)disappeared. Several pages of this discussion also disappeared.I'd like to invite people to continue the talk at http://rantawaythoseblues.blogspot.com/I created the space so that this discussion can continue, even if this particular thread is taken down. Please bookmark it!Hope to hear more from all of you.

I would just like to see what company accepts their certificate? I called countless HR departments to see if this certificate w/KRC would help with acquiring a position within their organization.  I received a resounding I am not familiar with that organization nor their certification.  With that I place the burden of proof on KRC to advise of who has received this certification and landed the illusive job that they continue to post on-line

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.

I received a email indicates for interview with the following address.

Sandra Stewert, HR Manager
Cereprotec Inc.
8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave
Suite 1300
PMB # 2010622
Chicago, 60631
United States
Phone:(613) 686-5745
Fax: (773) 305 2566

i tried many times to call the above number , unable to reach

613/686 5745 is a current telephone number. Can you tell me is it real one or not?

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.
