The process in achieving international accreditation is to accumulate both education hours and experience in the addiction field specifically. The international addiction counsellor’s certification (CADC) in our 3rd Tier for example, requires 300 CEU/CPD Hours addiction specific education and 6000Hrs (3Years) supervised experience in the addiction field in order to apply. If you already meet this criteria, you may apply for the international examination. If not, and you are studying towards certification, there are two recommended options: Either take our special reduced Complete Addiction Counsellor Package, which includes all four of the counsellor packages: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Specialist (BACC, IACC, AACC, SACC). You will need to complete all four of these packages for the certification exam. Or you can split them and start with the Basic Addiction Counsellor Certificate Package (BACC) first, and complete each in order individually.

The First Tier - Courses The First Tier covers all addiction related topics to suit the needs of any student, whether only interested in specific topics, or for those wanting to further their education in progressing towards any international addiction certification. The Second Tier - Packages The Second Tier are specialised packages of multiple courses suited to specific needs of the candidate, whether interested in addictions counselling, general addiction related information, or other particular field related to the addiction profession. The Third Tier – International Certifications The Third Tier are the IC&RC Internationally recognised and accredited addiction certifications that most addiction professionals strive towards when specialising in the addiction field. ACCSA assists with the application process with IC&RC Boards in the United States, Canada, Europe and the UK. ACCSA facilitates the online examinations as a registered provider for ISO Quality Testing.
