The Addictions and Community Services Worker Diploma Program has been designed to prepare students for a position in any facility that deals with alcohol and substance abuse clients. The program gives students the theoretical and practical skills to work in high-pressure environments. Students also learn conflict resolution skills, health information regarding drug and substance abuse, prevention and treatment planning.
Addictions Workers hold professional and paraprofessional jobs in a diverse range of settings such as child, youth and family social service agencies, and programs concerned specifically with alcoholism, drug abuse, family violence and the aged. Additional work environments may include group homes, correctional and community mental health centres, and facilities for the physically and developmentally handicapped. |
Additionally, we are fully accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) of British Columbia and the 2007 winner of the 'Consumer's Choice Award', as voted by you. We are also a member of the Canadian Association of Private Language Schools (CAPLS).
Certain programs are recognized by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of BC (CLPNBC), the Ministry of Children and Family Development of BC, TESL Canada and the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT). |
