Our Basic Training
Series
Many states are now allowing many if not
all of the hours needed for basic credentialing to be obtained in a
distance format. We've responded by creating a Basic Training Series that
offers larger blocks of hours on the basic, need-to-know
addiction education information that will help students prepare for a career in the
counseling profession. Coursework is now available, and new
titles will be added regularly.
