Section Title

Certified AODA Counselor Continuing Education Requirements

The purpose of continuing education is to promote ongoing professional development. It benefits the client, the AODA counselor, and the AODA profession. In addition, continuing education is a means of accumulating the training necessary to proceed to another certification classification. Certified AODA counselors will build upon their previously demonstrated competencies and demonstrate their professional development through pursuit of continuing education.

Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) counselors will follow the guidelines set forth in the Illinois Model for Counselor Certification. They are required to pay a biennial certification fee and submit continuing education units (CEUs).

Certified AODA counselors will be notified that their certification is about to expire no fewer than 30 days prior to the expiration date. They will submit their biennial certification fee and CEUs to the IAODAPCA by their expiration date. Forms for the documentation of CEUs will accompany the notification and must be completed, signed, and submitted with proof of attendance. CEUs should not be submitted until notification of expiration. CEUS will not be accepted by fax.
