Testimonials
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
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 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.
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 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.
