I am looking into training and certifications for my program and would love to hear experiences and opinions from others. Before I came to my institution the tutoring program used CRLA for tutor training, but it was discontinued (for reasons unknown to me.) I am considering reinstituting CRLA certification or instituting a new program. I have looked at CRLA and NTA and am wondering: 

• Are they worth the money? 
• Do you feel that the training resources are comprehensive or do you have to consistently supplement with additional resources and material? 
• Overall impressions on which is "best" (and the reason why)

Thanks in advance!
