Program Description The Addictions Counselling/Social Work combined diplomas program facilitates the completion of two diplomas in three years. The combined program is distinct and students must follow a prescribed program over three years to successfully complete the two diplomas.
The three year program combines knowledge of the humanities and behavioural sciences, addictions and compulsive behaviours, social work theory and philosophy, and the development of practical skills through academic classroom study and fieldwork settings.
The combined program meets the knowledge, skill and application competencies of The Canadian Addictions Counsellors Certification Federation (CACCF) and the knowledge skills and practice competencies as defined by the Alberta College of Social Work (ACSW). Graduates of the combined program are eligible for registration with the ACSW.
