ATTENTION: REGISTERED STUDENTS! (AND ANYONE ELSE PURSUING CERTIFICATION!)
— The Truth About School Accreditation
Excerpt from FREEDOM September-October 2005
Ever wonder if the school you have attended is approved by CAADAC? Do you worry that the school you have been using will not be accepted as part of your certification process? Have you been told that the school you attended is not accepted by CAADAC and that you could not use their courses toward your CADC or RADI? The following information can help you avoid confusion or anxiety related to the school you attended, are attending, or are planning on attending!
For a school’s curriculum to be approved as meeting the educational requirements for certification, the school does not have to be on the “CAADAC Approved California Alcohol & Drug Program Schools” list. If someone wants to attend an institution not on the “CAADAC Approved California Alcohol & Drug Program Schools” list, call the CAADAC office to see if the institution has been approved (there are approximately 50 schools whose programs have been approved). If the school or program has not been approved in the past, we will review the curriculum to see if it meets CAADAC’s requirements.
CAADAC members should refrain from making statements about which schools will or will not meet our requirements and refer these questions to the CAADAC office. Not to do so could unfairly, negatively impact the student or the school. Please do not hesitate to contact CAADAC if you have any questions at 916-368-9412.
