I am so grateful to have found this thread as I was contemplating a course with them but finding that they seemed to have an "uncanny connection" with each other.  This was most evident when I submitted an application to Kriger for a scholarship and within seconds an email "magically" appeared in my inbox from EspoirBridge before I even received the automatic confirmation from Kriger.  Bear in mind that I had not mentioned EspoirBridge in my scholarsip application at any point!!!  Very interesting!

Also I do have a certification and some limited research experience but the letter was written as though it were a form letter and reiterated comments about how I had "no experience."   Smells very funny---

Re Espoirbridge--they never answer. There is no extension for Ms. Williams. Their English is embarrassing to say the least. After I expressed an interest in a supposed position I got tons of spam for CRA classes. Mind you, I am a health professional with a masters. I've also been in industry for over 9 years. It's really sad that they take advantage of people in this economy. Predators to say the least and shame on them.

I've been 'in touch' with espoirbridge. They emailed me a job listing for 'cereprotec'. I was pretty uninspired by the cereprotec website. I was less than impressed by the fact that I couldn't even find an address for the company. A call to espoirbridge yields only a busy signal. We're either dealing with a scam, or a severe lack of professionalism. I'm pissed off either way. Buncha time burglars.

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.

Hmmmm.  I received an email for a CRA position today from the following company:
ClinQua Clinical Trials Inc.
4370 La Jolla Village Drive
San Diego, 92122-1249
Tel.  (858) 605-1793
www.clinqua.com
a.bale @ clinqua.com
USA
Didn't "bite" because the vagueness of the job description set off alarm bells, so did a search on better business bureau website and a few other places and this company did not show up anywhere.  Another scam??  Has anyone received something similar from this, "company"?

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.
