My Review 

I currently began working on basic certification for Arise. In the beginning I was very excited to began this venture, but quickly lost hope. The fees are extremely expensive. Basic certification is $99.00. Background check is $12.95. Completing the basic certification does not mean you can service any clients. It simply means you can log in!! LOL You then have to wait for available openings and then pay for individual certifications. Which range from about $100 and way up. So from what I am seeing unless you have close to $500 for initial start up fees, I would not recommend it. Oh, and did I mention that you ALSO have to be a corporation? So, if you don't currently have an LLC, S Corp, etc, you will have to pay incorporation fees in your state. They do not accept sole proprietorships. I think I have wasted my money. (Also did not get all of this information until after I paid the $99.00)

Would you recommend this to a friend?
