I passed my Alcohol and Drug Counselor Exam with flying colors. Thanks to Christian Institute! Christian Institute's on-line classes gave me the flexibility and tools I needed to pass each class and feel confident while applying for my internship. Christian Institute was there for me every step of the way to answer questions and offer support.
I am so grateful for all their help. Sincerely, Polly H.
