The Indonesian National Trainers were trained on Curriculum 1 & 2 and hence needed to undertake examinations to be credentialed through ACCE. The ACCE I (Basic Level) Examination was conducted for the Indonesian National Trainer and the Board members of the Indonesian Certification Board in the afternoon of 6 June, 2012. About thirty candidates took part in the examination. Dr. Sallyan Henry President of Professional Testing Cooperation (PTC), New York USA administered the tests and Ms. Shirley Beckett Mikell, Director of Certification; NAADAC, USA was the proctor.
The tests would be scored by the PTC and those who qualify in the exams would be awarded with the ACCE credential “International Certified Addictions Counsellor I” (ICAC I). The Credential will be valid for 2 years and upon its expiry, the candidates can apply for re-credentialing.
The ACCE Commission re-credentialing requirements include gaining 40 hours of continuing education in the field of alcoholism and drug abuse counselling every two years with at least 20 hours specific to alcoholism and drug abuse with the remainder in related areas. The Commission expects that all the Treatment professionals credentialed through ACCE seeks additional training specific to their professional development needs.
