Yes, all of our courses are completed online and are self-paced and can completed according to your own schedule as long as you complete them within a year.

How long is the program?

Our courses are designed for you to complete at your own pace. Requirements for certification requires you to complete a total of 315 hours of formal education in 7 key areas and 255 hours of practicum hours in the field. A realistic goal would be to complete the course within 6-12 months.

Do you offer financial assistance?

We offer multiple options to make the investment in yourself affordable. 

We offer a full course bundle that consists of each course required which can be purchased in full for a discounted rate when paid in full. 

Even though the cost of our full course bundle is reasonble when compared to other providers, we also understand that financial harships may create a barrier. All (7) of our SUD education courses can be purchased individually at full price. 

We also provide you with the option of using Klarna or Afterpay if using a Pay in 4 payment plan or installment plan would make it more acheivable. (Ability to use these options are subject to approval and additional fees or interest may apply).
