The quicker you complete them, the sooner you will be speaking with patients and changing lives.

Training is free and there are a wide variety of learning opportunities. The training to certify as a GoodStart Mentor takes between 10 – 15 hours on average. Pleio does not compensate for training, but we do offer a bonus to new mentors after meeting a minimum of calling hours and metrics.
