ReadyToTest.com was created to assist counseling professionals who are working to obtain a credential (licensure or certification) as a drug/alcohol professional.

• IC&RC (International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium)
• NAADAC - the Association for Addiction Professionals
• The American Academy of Health Care Providers
