Greg, did the course helped you in some way? I found this forum after i already registered with Kriger and normaly paid the cours and now i'm kind of feeling stupid and try to think that maybe it will be helpfull in some way. anybody finished the cours and finded it usefull? Thanks

Gina, sorry to hear about your situation. Try looking for research coordiantor positions with hospitals, CROs, biotech/pharmaceutical companies and then work your way up to CRA. It is very difficult to get a CRA position without 2 yrs experience in a similar capacity. I also think the economy is affecting recruitment. Goodluck and don't give up!

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.

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.

Hi All,I am just trying to send out a message about how Kriger institute and/or Espoir bridge consultants are a big bogus... They have material ( I am not even sure which is up to date)on line and by making you pay $1100, they grant you access to that material.They promise resume writing , job placement, towards that they send you couple of generally advertised positions..You must be wondering why this is bogus... B'caz at the end of each chapter there will be a question, you do research and send in the answer, immediately followed by your answer they send you another answer (auto reply mode) and they never correct your answer not they give you feed back..It gets better listen to this, there are topics like CRF (Clinical report forms) and absolutely what they have what in reality they look like are completely different...I am so desperate for my money that  I even want to go to court and get my money back..But at least if you are in the market for a good  CRA certification program, all I can advise you is not to go with Kriger and don't get cheated by their website as i did

Wow, am I happy to find this thread. During this last week I've received several e-mails from Espoirbridge/EBRecruiters. I have a BS in Natural Sciences - Biology Major and also studied Pre-Med. First it was Monika Hoffman (I sent an updated resume to: http://www.ebrecruiters.com/cr.html) , then several from Carolyn McMurry and now several from  KRGI Clinical Research. I suspected that a scam could be involved, so today I started to look a little bit more into it and have found several sites like this one which have opened my eyes. Can't believe people take advantage of us (I'm currently unemployed) for their personal benefit. Thanks to your comments we can defend ourselves.
