Common Questions

Do I need prior experience to enroll?
No. These programs are designed for coaches at any stage — whether you're just getting started or looking to formalize experience you already have.
Is the State Cert Prep the same as the state exam?
No. This is prep training — not the official ODMHSAS exam. You'll need to apply directly through ODMHSAS for your PRSS or BHWC credential. This course prepares you to pass it.
How long does it take to complete?
Each specialty training package takes roughly 4–6 hours total. State Cert Prep takes 6–8 hours including practice exams. Go at whatever pace works for you.
Can I get both certifications?
Absolutely. Many coaches stack multiple specialty certifications — complete one track, then add more specialties and move on to State Cert Prep when you're ready to pursue the PRSS or BHWC credential.
What does the certificate look like?
It's a full PDF document with PeerLift branding in blue and gold, your name, the certification earned, and the date of completion. Print-ready and shareable.
What if I fail a quiz?
You can retake any quiz as many times as you need. This isn't about catching you out — it's about making sure you actually know the material before you're coaching real people.
