Distance Learning Opportunities (On-line courses) 
One objective of the SATP is to identify learning opportunities that offer affordable and accessible training.  This is especially important for individuals and agencies whose geographic location and/or staffing patterns make attendance at face-to-face workshops problematic.  The following distance learning sources are provided without any implied or expressed endorsement of specific course merits.  
Many of the courses found on line can be applied to meet the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals (MCBAP) requirements for various certification levels.  Requirements in relation to distance learning and MCBAP Certifications can be found online at http://www.mcbap.com/
