I have an email stating that this company Cereprotec is in Chicago, but I do believe that 613/686 5745 is a Canadian telephone number.  Can you tell me if this is a legitimate company and where they are located.

OMG, Hi everyone first I would like to say thank you sooo much for all your posts. I recently started getting emails from a so called "recruiter" who states she saw my email via web. Then started emailing me and stating how interested they are in hiring me. Thankfully I caught them early, and suspected something weird was going on.  This person whom I had sent my resume just the other day had asked for an "updated" resume. That did it for me. I looked up "Cereprotec" Co. and found this site! Thanks for all your honesty guys and chicas!   P.S. don't lose hope cause of these creeps!yours CALI GIRL

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.

Why would y'all mention these concerns on an obscure blog?  Why not with BBB or a state or fed attorny general? I checked Kriger out with Better Business Bureau and found no unresolved problems.  And the 3 resolved problems were all billing not content or ethics.  I'm not defending Kriger aka EspoirBridge aka IBPA aka Clinqua aka whatever (although the training they give is true if out-of-date) but if you have proof (I don't) then take it to the authorities so that fplks like me don't fall for this.
By the way "Someone with a brain", you DO have to pay for a job - college or training (like KRC offers).

So now I have read all of the comments about the fact that most of these companies are scams and I am wonder what probably others are... WHERE CAN I GET TRAINING TO BE A CRA??? I have applied for positions that ask for what seems like minimal experience, and no response. I find tons of openings on Medzilla for CRA's, but I must be a total loser, because I don't get even a "you suck, but thank you for applying" email. I have been a RN for 20 yrs, have my BSN and did about a years work as a CRA 12 yrs ago for a tiny research institute.
I would love to find a job as a CRA and work my way up to being home based and have a stable job! I know it won't happen over night, but I need help finding out how to start the entire process. I keep hitting brick walls because no one wants to hire and train you, and no one wants someone without experience!! It's a catch 22, which is so frustrating I want to scream!!

Can anyone shed some light on what to do? Thank you for anything you have to offer!

Guys,I am heartbroken,So this Espoirbridge,kriger thing is a huge scam.No doubt I applied to a lot of companies,but i didn't get a single call from anyone and I paid $1300 for the course.And now I think about it this Cliniqa thing is a big scam too.I was sent an e-mail saying that there as a immediate need for clinical research people and I kept calling the San Dieago number like a fool over and over again but nothing.What do I do now,all my hopes crashed.I dont know what to do.Where do I go from here.
