English 690: Writing Center Theory

I vaguely remember a conversation about certification from the beginning of the semester. From what I recall, one of the issues mentioned was that certification is difficult in the writing center, given the hyper-individualized nature of the various centers. The list of topics from the CRLA seemed universal enough, but I imagine each point would manifest itself differently in each writing center. But, for the rest of certification, I wonder if the time and paperwork is "worth it," especially for centers that have some sort of special circumstance (for example, MIT, with its higher need for professional tutors).
