Students attend courses which are 6 ½ days in length and travel to our Centre for a total of five weeks during a five-month period.

• Pre-requisites are one-year sobriety (if you have a history of addictions) and
• successful completion of the CAT Series
• Each course in the Advanced Counsellor Training Certificate Program is approved for 45 hours study credit by the Canadian Council of Professional Certification.
