No. While many of our students hold degrees or licenses in counseling, social work, or psychology, they are not required to begin. Our programs are structured to provide both entry-level training and advanced credentials for licensed professionals seeking continuing education.
Our certifications are offered in three formats: live virtual classroom, self-paced online study, and in-person intensives. All options include full access to course materials, exams, and certification. Live classes have scheduled times. Self-study courses allow you to progress at your own pace, with no fixed schedule.
Graduates use their training to launch private practices, advance in treatment centers, add specialized credentials to their résumé, or become faculty and trainers themselves. Our alumni network spans over 60,000 professionals in 40 countries, many of whom credit TAA as the foundation of their career growth.
