Canadian Contingent Alcohol & Drug Councellor (CCADC) |
|
Requirements
This designation is NOT reciprocal with other IC&RC member boards.
The contingent designation is offered as a stepping stone to the International Certified Alcohol And Drug Counsellor (ICADC). The CACCF recognizes that many addiction practitioners find the process for the ICADC somewhat difficult early in their career. Simultaneously, there is a need to ensure that those who want to achieve a professional status to have the skills and the knowledge to effectively practice in the best interests of our clients. To meet both these needs, CACCF has developed this designation that has less requirements of the recognized international certification with the intent that those practitioners will continue onto the full certification within a three year period.
This designation is valid for 3 years only and is NOT renewable.
