Courses: : Courses are available on
a wide range of topics, organized into four basic tracks, (see below).
A Course always includes on-demand Web Lectures and may also include

the foundational information, is presented as a series of engaging
mini-slide shows, including the Instructor's voice. These are available

MFTs, or LCSWs.

courses are
also offered classroom-style on one of Alliant's six campuses
throughout the state of California. Please see the "CE calendar" or "CE
Locations." for additional information. |
