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.

not specifically with EspoirBridge, but with another recruitment company (and not for a clinical research position).

They promised to contact me as soon as they get my references (mentioned: 1 day after) but they did not do so in almost one month. Also, they lied, on one hand they confirmed they got my references but later they just denied that, even if I have proof they really received it. Probably to cover up their incompetence. Anyway, I have supporting proofs that I did everything right.

Since this is unprofessional I requested they remove all my data and never call me again. Anyway, the last message from them (even if I specifically asked them not to call me again) was insulting: "short temper","lack of understanding" and "offence" (they only thing I said was that this situation proved no coordination and proper managemanent of papers.

I mentioned that I don't want them to call me again, I want that they remove all my data and that any inconveniences caused by them in the future will be legally handled.

To sum up, it is shocking how rude and unprofessional these people are, even if they make money from people like you. They show not respect but not even elementary education, poor manners and disgusting behaviour and therefore I decided to avoid such questionable individuals in the future.

Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to post your comments regarding this obvious SCAM.  I too have been contacted repeatedly by EspoirBridge with job postings; and I have interviewed with both Cereprotec and Pharmalef, thus with no avail.  Eventually, I was referred to take the training from Kriger with the assistance of a scholarship that left me with a balance of $1500.00 to pay out-of-pocket.  Then I began to really think.....NO WAY.  Yes, I totally agree....we need to report them for running a SCAM from Canada on American citizens.

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.

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 researchassociate just to make sure we are on the same page.It is extremely difficult to talk to employer if the candidatesdon'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 certificatethrough  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 toyour CRA experience and they provide job references.3. They are recognised by The International BiopharmaceuticalAssociation and tuition fees are partialy covered through thisorganization. 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 areferring recruiter, this will make it more plausible that you get a goodpercentage of coverage.)I have placed many of KRGI grads, so it is natural for me to be astrong proponent of this program.Usually  this training takes  6-8 weeks to complete. But it is totalyself-paced program, and they issue a password for 3 months, thatcan be extended later.This is on-line training, and there is nothing wrong with that.

another comment"Never waste money and time with kreiger you will never see any CRA graduated from kreiger they are making money from you if you need to join ask them to give you field experience or internship and if they are willing to do so ask them in written, or pay once you get field internship. indeed kreiger reputation is not good"
