How Christian Institute's Online Courses Work
Christian Institute offers online the seven courses needed to qualify to take CCAPP's written exam to become a certified alcohol and drug counselor. The seventh course, the Supervised Practicum, is a full course in which students begin their 255-hour internship at an approved drug and alcohol facility in which the students acquire 21 hours in each of the 12 Core Functions. The internship site is of the student's choosing.
The amount of time that students take to complete one online course is individualized, ranging from 30 to 60 days. However, because of the self-paced nature of the courses, some students have finished sooner and others longer. The courses have standard curriculum but the pacing is individualized.
Students must have at least a high school diploma or equivalency, an operating knowledge of computers such as sending and receiving emails, uploading and downloading files, opening websites, and using word-processing software like Microsoft Word. Christian Institute uses the Learning Management System called Moodle.
The typical requirements for each course are:
After submitting the final exam, students will receive within one week their grade for the course.
Students will interact with the course instructor through the course's software, email and even telephone; all students will have the instructor's contact information.
