And higher wash rates at your facility. I was in and out to a high level facility in less than 3 years from my tower while some center trainees were still training. Not the same for all but if you get terminal, go to a tower only well staffed facilty certify and get out. You'll be making if not the same, more money than someone at the center depending on where you go. A lot of towers are revolving doors. Not to mention, you go to somewhere like zny, yeah youll make money but you're stuck in long island for the next decade.

You won’t be making the same. Center d2 is above a lot of towers

I’ve seen people mention the dates they were cleared. How do you know that?
I’ve finished up all of the medical/drug/MMPI etc stuff back in January but haven’t been contacted since.
My HR is DP, I contacted her in June and she said I was cleared but didn’t really say much more than that.
Is there somewhere this info is posted?

Medical gave me a specific date when I emailed and asked. HR emailed me when I was given all my clearances. So the 'cleared by' date in my signature is the latest I was cleared.

When you transfer to a high level facility while a center trainee is still training, you will. A level 11 or 12 tower is the same as any center.

Is anyone transferring now? You can certify in a center in under 3 years.

Was that your timeline? Because i remember you crying about the training hold.

It took me just under 3 years.

And that includes you spending an average of 17 1/2 hours/day on this web site lol

I’m at 2.5 years in the agency with 0 certs because of the training hold. With the backlog, every person coming into my facility is likely looking at 4-5 years to CPC now.

What facility are you at if you dont mind me asking?

Damn dude that rough. I wasnt calling you out for crying, that wqas for 32. I was quoting your post to show not every center is a guaranteed cert in 3 years. I know someone personally at a highly sought after center that still only has d sides after 4 years.

I'm in the same boat. The last thing I took care of was my drug test on 3/15. I emailed CS on 4/20 asking if I had been cleared, and received a response on 4/28 stating that they had all my clearances. So my assumption is that it could have been any time between those results and the response. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. most of our clearance dates are just the days we were told. Some people asked to get an exact date, but it's mostly just guesswork.

I decided to reach out to CS for a class date estimate, and she says a November date is likely!
