Is a certificate for a paraprofessional mental health worker the same as a certificate of peer advocacy?

I am interested in a position offered by L.A. County as a Mental Health Peer Advocate, but you are required to take a 4-week course certifying you as such. This program is offered by L.A. County - but not by San Bernardino County, which is where I live. Thus, I am ineligible to take the L.A. County-sponsored programs.
So, I have signed up with Pacific Clinics to begin a 10-week course starting in September. The certificate I will be earning is called a paraprofessional mental health worker. The lady who signed me up assured me that this certificate is the same as the Mental Health Peer Advocate Certificate, but I remain unconvinced.
I have searched the web exhaustively, but have found nowhere else where the Mental Health Peer Advocate Certificate Program is being offered. Are the two certificates really the same? And, if not, is it actually better (career-wise) to stick with the Paraprofessional Mental Health Worker Certificate?
Thank you for your help!
