The Distance Learning Center for Addiction Studies
“The Premier Source for Addictions Information
and Continuing Education on the World Wide Web”
An exciting concept for securing Continuing Education
Credits and staying up-to-date on the latest developments
in the addictions field via the Internet.
All DLCAS.com courses are a joint presentation of the Betty
Ford Center and the Distance Learning Center, LLC and are
open to the public.
The Distance Learning Center for Addiction Studies (DLCAS.com)
is an Internet-based educational service that permits participants
the opportunity to obtain educational credits toward state
and/or national licensure or certification over the Internet. This
includes either initial education credits for licensure
or certification and continuing education credits for re-licensure
or re-certification. By way of distance
education, a student or counselor can obtain part of their
required credits in the convenience of their own home,
at their own pace and time frame. Using distance education
saves considerable amounts of both time and money.
What is Distance Education?
Distance
education is a guided set of learning activities that provide
high quality content linked to current research as well
as widely accepted academic work, along with access to
the instructor or training provider. The majority of state
certifying or licensing bodies currently allow students
to obtain some portion of their education credits toward
original or continued licensure or certification by way
of distance education. This allows a person to earn basic
or continuing educational credits without the added expense
of travel, hotels, meals, and time away from home or work.
