"NO COUNSELOR LEFT BEHIND" |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on Mar 29 2007 |
Effective April 1, 2007, the California Code of Regulations1 requires that all certification organizations be accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). In fact, it clearly states: “if any of the certifying organizations in this regulation fails to comply with the requirements of this regulation, within (5) working days following receipt of written notification by the Department that it is no longer approved to certify AOD counselors”(1).
The CAADAC certification board has received the required accreditation from NCCA! We will not leave you behind! CCBADC invites you to align yourself with CAADAC’s tradition of excellence and high standards by moving toward certification that is nationally recognized and accredited!
Effective immediately, CAADAC’s certification board (California Certification Board of Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselors) will honor any certification(2) issued through any of the ADP approved certification organizations! When your current certification renewal is due, you will be placed at the appropriate level on the CCB career path as indicated by your certification’s education, experience and testing requirements.(3) Thus, you will remain in compliance with the California Code.
Don’t wait until your job is in jeopardy – apply now!
