Pros
1.Centria not only requires a minimum of 48 hours for a certificate prior to employment, but they pay for and provide that training. As well as compensating onef or one's time. You cannot pass for a certificate with less than an 80 percent, a B, on the exam. It is not an easy exam, but the education is awesome!
2. Centria looks at one's experience as well as academic performance to judge a person's readiness for working in the mental health field.
3. Centria is flexible with scheduling. 5 hour days are a great family/work life balance.
Cons
1. Too many points of contact. We should have 1 points of contact during our hiring process. I've had 4 and not stepped into a clinic until Monday.
2. The hiring process has taken almost a month
