CDCA Renewable Courses
The second phase of the CDCA certificate process is called the CDCA Renewable. Formerly known as the CDCA II. To apply for your CDCA Renewable, you must hold a CDCA Preliminary for 10 months. However, you can work on your credits with Addiction Counselor CE as soon as you have your preliminary license number.
You can complete the required education for your CDCA Preliminary with Addiction Counselor CE! We offer an easy training curriculum for earning your CDCA Preliminary. Get the full information on our CDCA Renewable Curriculum page.
