Summer 2026 · 6-Week Intensive · 2-Hour Weekly Sessions · In-Person
This course is designed to help you pass the Illinois CRSS certification exam with confidence. Over six weeks, you will work through more than 500 unique practice questions covering every domain on the exam. Each session builds on the last, starting with a pre-course diagnostic and finishing with full-length mock exams that mirror the real test — same length, same time limit, same domain mix.
Whether this is your first attempt or you are retaking the exam, this course meets you where you are. A 20-item diagnostic assessment before Week 1 identifies your strengths and gaps so every hour of study counts. Your lived experience is your greatest asset. This program gives you the structure, practice, and strategies to translate that experience into a passing score.
48 modules across 5 exam domains. Each module includes real-world scenarios, bolded key terms, cross-module references, “Making It Real” practice scenarios, and self-assessment questions at three cognitive levels (Recall, Comprehend, Apply). Includes a six-week pacing guide, comprehensive glossary, and full source reference list. This guide replaces the 2012 ICB Study Guide as your primary preparation resource.
20-item assessment covering all 5 domains. Taken online or on paper before the first session. Results identify your strongest and weakest domains so you and your instructor can prioritize from day one. Read before starting: HRM-01 (Harm Reduction Philosophy) — 20 items
