***Start Training Now—Pay Over time***

---

We are excited to share we now offer flexible payment options through AFFIRM to support peers on their path toward Medi‑Cal Peer Support Specialist certification.  With Affirm, you don’t have to pay the full cost upfront—you can break it into manageable monthly payments. 

Getting started with flexible payments is simple. Here’s what to expect:

Submit your training application. Once approved, you’ll receive an Acceptance Notification with the option to choose Affirm as your payment method.

We’ll email you an invoice for your training. Click the green “View and Pay” button in the attached invoice to open your payment options.

Select the Affirm button and complete the quick eligibility application.

• You’ll see your payment options instantly
• Choose the plan that works best for you

Once approved, you have two options:

• Send us a screenshot of your approval, OR
• Wait for us to receive confirmation directly from Affirm

As soon as your approval is confirmed:

• You’ll receive your login credentials
• Begin your training!

Approval decisions are typically fast, and you’ll be able to review all terms before committing—so you can move forward with confidence.

Sterling Solutions is dedicated to providing accessible, high‑quality training that honors lived experience, cultural humility, and the values of the Peer Support profession. We are grateful to CalMHSA for expanding opportunities for peers across California.
