The RAS Credential and Breining Institute are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA)

 

 

Breining Institute was the
first certification agency accredited and approved
by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs

 


 

 

    The Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS) exam tutorial has been prepared for use with The Addiction Professional: Manual for Counselor Competency
 

-
The tutorial follows along in
the same order as the Chapters in the Manual
-
The tutorial will identify all of the subject matter that may be tested upon within the current multiple-choice RAS exam
-
If it is not in the Manual,
it will not be on the Exam
 
   
The tutorial is divided into
the following sections:
Understanding Addiction,
Treatment Knowledge & Application to Practice,
Professional Readiness and
Counselor Competencies

-
Watch the tutorial as you follow along with the Manual
-
Highlight in your Manual the areas identified in the tutorial, and then go back and study those areas
-
All of the questions on the RAS Exam are taken from the material included in the Manual
 
 
    If there is a conflict between the information that you have learned through your clinical experience or formal education and the information contained within the Manual, answer the exam questions based upon the information contained within the Manual
 
     
  Did you know?  
  The RAS exam is also the required exam for earning and being awarded the CAODC certification from the California Association of Drinking Driver Treatment Programs, and the CDAAC certification from the Association of Christian Alcohol and Drug Counselors.
 
 
   
The updated tutorial videos are for use with both the
First and Second Editions
of the Manual.

GOOD LUCK!
