Does FACT offer Certification by Testing?
Yes. At its discretion, and on a case by case basis, FACT offers the option of taking the exam without meeting all the UCSD training requirements (listed above). Applicants for this option must go through the same formal application process as those who are meeting the testing requirements, including the $200 application fee. Instructions and forms specific to this option are included in the application. Requirements regarding Certification by Testing are set forth in the ADP Regulations, Section 13025 : Five years work experience in a chemical dependency treatment environment within the last ten years OR a college degree (associates, bachelor’s or master’s) in the study of chemical dependency.
