Never mind.  Just looked back at previous messages and saw that Clinqua seems to be on the list of scammers.  Come to think of it, also received an email from Kriger with the same $600 special for CRA certification.
Best to stick with the tried and true!

I too took the Kriger CRA course and found it quite informational. It's just landing a job as entry level that's so dang hard. Yet, how do you get the experience w/o 1st starting at the entry level!!! Someone I talked to at Espoir Bridge actually had Ms. Stewart at Cereprotec call me. I emailed/faxed all they needed and was sent via email the Protocol for the Phase-IIa trials for Cereprotex. Then, have sent a few messages to them and now have heard nothing for 2 years! I think funding is the main issue here.

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."

This certificate is not essential to have a CRA job. Big compagnies will offer this kind of traning. I never had this certificate and I am in the interview process to apply for a job. They never asked me if I have the certificate.
Cereprotec, Pharmalef, espoirbridge and Kriger are pushing to let us take the certificate. What a shame. When you call pharmalef it's a general answering machine (Tel/fax). I sent a big E-mail to Espoirbridge to let them answering about all this Sh... but I never received any.
I asked to stop sending their reference code because I don't need it. But with their electronic system, they can't stop. I don't know if their is humans behind this company. Strange .....

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

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"?
