Here is What Our People Say About PeerForce
Tyler was instrumental in assisting me with any and all information related to my certification goals. He mentioned and recommended things that I had not even thought about. In prior dealings with PeerForce, my experience has also been positive with the assistance of Ms. Laura Vasquez. Both are an asset to your organization.
I first reached out to Peer Force after receiving a "little" guidance on the PRSS course from a friend. The material he sent to me was cumbersome, and confusing. However, there was a link in the content for an organization called "Peer Force." I reached out to this company and heard back from them, within the day. Ever since, I can either call or email and I am always good to get guidance and clarity about the process. I am so thankful and appreciative that they are helping me to achieve my professional goals.
The staff are amazing helpful and kind. They were truly understanding to my situation and helped me every step of the way. I have already recommended to others seeking to become peer supports. Will definitely come back for further training.
I am so very grateful to you for helping me through the process and receiving financial help that I needed and at the last minute. Words can not describe the gratitude for the immediate responses that I received from Laura throughout the whole process on each step and letting me know what I missed immediately because it was on a time constraints. I feel so blessed to have been referred here. Thank you so much to PeerForce I could not have obtained this educational opportunity without your generosity help and understanding!
