I'm considering accepting a position in a SNF where they want an SLP to be

One can't actually be "certified" for e-stim. All one can do is attend one
of the courses offered and then receive a document that allows one to
purchase the vendor's form of ENS. "Certification" implies some form of
qualification which it most assuredly is not.
