What grateful CASAC professionals are saying…
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be able to complete these courses on my time – some days I am able to dedicate 8-10 hours and some days I cannot log on at all. Not having to present to a “scheduled class” on a particular day at a set time makes it so much more convenient to meet the necessary requirements and I cannot thank you enough for creating this program and these courses
Instructor-Led Review
I wanted just to take a second and say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I think you are helping a lot of people understand the role. I’ll be transitioning into my new CASAC role in the next couple of months, thanks to Educational Enhancement CASAC Online.
I found the CASAC training to be not only exciting but informative and helpful. I love the recovery field; therefore, I enjoy learning and do well with the training. As a visual learner, I respond well to visual teaching; therefore, the pre-recorded videos and added resources benefited me. I could download the workbooks and follow along with the videos while taking notes. I also liked repeating the questions in the final exam because the repetitive questions from previous tests helped me learn.
I looked forward to class every weekend!
I recently finished OASAS CASAC Section 4 with Educational Enhancement CASAC online. The distance learning classes are wonderfully written and easy to understand, and you can feel the passion for helping others succeed put into this work. When I asked questions about the information, Johnny was quick to reply and help me out. The trainings were set up to work at my speed -between work and school. The information went above and beyond and was taught in a way that sticks in your mind. Thank you.
I will come back for renewal hours once I’m a CASAC.
I learned so much, from cultural diversity training to professional development. I work as a 1st responder, and the different things I read about and watched videos of helped me be more patient with colleagues and callers needing assistance.
My drug counselor certification training with EECo has been an incredible journey, and I am so glad I have completed this program. I’ve been wanting to do this for so very long, but I couldn’t find a way to do it due to work conflicts. I am just so grateful that EECO’s self-paced hybrid training could accommodate my hectic schedule. Thank you so much! 🙂
This was a very comprehensive drug abuse counselor certification course. It covered every conceivable nuance related to being an addiction counselor. I say this as someone who has gone through the entire certification process once before and has spent a few years working in the field in various roles.
I have been looking for online CASAC at your pace for more than two years. I came across this program last year, and I am so glad that, as a full-time worker, I can do this course at my own pace and in my comfort zone at an affordable price compared to what colleges will take. Thank you all for making this course available for people like me. Looking forward to achieving excellent knowledge from this program. Thanks
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This course is not just comprehensive but exceptionally well-written. I’ve absorbed a wealth of knowledge and I’m truly grateful for the dedication and hard work that’s gone into crafting this exceptional learning experience. Kind regards, as always
Educational Enhancement was a great choice for my CASAC education and training! Overall, the training setup made a lot of sense to me. It flowed smoothly, especially with all the information-packed inside. I never felt overwhelmed. I did well on the tests, even in the areas I thought I would struggle in.
What can I say about Educational Enhancement? They helped me to become a CASAC. The training programs were informative, easy for me to understand and the trainers were excellent. I still call them when I have a question about training programs, re-credential requirements, and what’s new in the field. I highly recommend Educational Enhancement to anyone seeking CASAC training.
I’m probably one of the first students trained for the 350 hours of training. I was confident when I went for my exam and passed on my first try. I have been using them for re-credentialing since. Everyone I have referred has been very happy with the Educational Enhancement’s CASAC Training and Renewal program.
As part of my application for CASAC certification, I participated in 15 hours of additional training through Educational Enhancement. I found the courses very well-prepared and delivered and received important information from them very useful in my work in addiction counseling. I appreciate the professionalism and efficiency of setting up the training needed and processing my completion certificate. I will certainly recommend this site and these courses to my peers and the director of my program.
My stepsons’ struggles with drugs and alcohol ended badly. So, I decided to become a CASAC addiction counselor to make a difference. I was fortunate to discover Educational Enhancement’s online addiction counseling training.
Their mission is to “ENCOURAGE. EDUCATE. EMPOWER.” And, they exceeded their promise with an approved, web-based education and training program that embraces learning principles. It made learning fun and efficient. Their training included modules containing workbooks, PDFs, links to resources, and videos. And their test questions helped me feel prepared to pass the CASAC exam.
Thanks to their support, I completed my coursework ahead of schedule. I’ve spent a substantial portion of my career in the knowledge business, teaching college and
grad students, accountants, and attorneys. Additionally, as a director of training and
development for my Behavioral Consulting firm, I’ve trained many employees. So, I’m
speaking from experience when I say that Maria Mendez, John Makohen, and their Educational Enhancement team is doing a great job changing the world — one addiction counselor at a time. BRAVO!
