Welcome to CasacOnline.org!

This online training website is provided by DYSO (Do You See Opportunity), an OASAS Certified Education and Training Provider ( #0437) since 2003. Online learning programs may be relatively new, but DYSO was an early adopter of this technology. In fact, DYSO began offering distance learning classes more than 18 years ago and remains involved in all aspects of the (SUD/AUD/Recovery) training industry. DYSO created CasacOnline.org to provide behavioral health professionals the opportunity to obtain the entire 350-hours CASAC education and/or re-credential CASAC-CPP or CPS hours through distance learning education.
