The ACE is the qualifying exam for the nationally-accredited Registered Addiction Specialist
(RAS) Credential.
A Higher Standard
Developed, reviewed and validated by
nationally-recognized subject matter and
psychometric experts, the Addiction
Counselor Exam (ACE) tests for the necessary
skills and knowledge of an addiction
counselor professional.
The exam is not easy.
But when you pass the ACE and earn the RAS Credential, you will join
RAS professionals in over 40 US States and 14 countries.
Exam Development
Be Prepared
Over 80% of the candidates who pass the exam pass it
the first time they take it, because they studied
the material provided.

to pass the exam:
As part of the exam fee, we provide the relevant
parts of these books to candidates who have paid for
the exam (repeat exam takers do not get additional
books sent to them).
