Criminal Justice Counselor Certification

Criminal Justice Counselor Certificate Training

Many states have added a specialization for people who want to work with offenders with co-occurring disorders  in the criminal justice system.  In order to meet the requirements of most states, we based our curriculum on the guidelines set by the state of Florida, which we found to be  the most directive/restrictive.
  • Courses are self-paced, but you can access instructors by email throughout the training program.
