They just keep calling me to register, even if I already completed their course last year. Until now, they called me to register more than 10 times and even if I told then I already completed the course, they keep e-mailing me. This is stupid.

Regarding the emails asking us to call urgent for some jobs and as an answer to Bruce: I did write a few emails to info @ cereprotec.com, as well as to s.stewart @ cereprotec.com with different inquiries regarding the company and this after i received the same urgent email that everybody else recieved and believe it or not i never got any answer( what a surprise). I think we should report this as a fraud, we all gave a lot of personal information to who knows...

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."
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.

it is all not about a certificate but i think this course really gives you a knowledge about a clinical research. it does not work the way that if you have theri certificate you could be 100% sure you got the job, but it is not that you loose if you have it! if anyone who does not have the knowledge about clinical research and has some money to invest is interested in this course should take it. i am happy with what i have learned from them!

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.
