New Courses and Packages for 2019!


Kicking off 2019 with new courses and packages, as well as a price decrease in some of the larger packages. ACCSA now offers over 300 Hours of CEU/CPD online distance learning content, and 420 hours of seated courses. Addiction counsellor candidates are now able to cover the studies needed to prepare for the IC&RC international certifications in full.

A fourth level package has been added to the counsellor packages, titled "Specialist Addiction Counsellor Certificate Package" bridging the gap after the advanced package. A new Peer Recovery package has also been added to the lineup, as well as a Brief Interventions and Therapies package that will start in Cape Town and Johannesburg around March 2019.
