Fun and interactive course with good group activities to keep you engaged. One of the most enjoyable courses I have been on.

Bespoke training

We can also offer bespoke alcohol training courses. For example, we have previously been commissioned by South Lanarkshire Council to run a series of courses on alcohol and older people. We will train around 60 staff working in Sheltered Housing Services to increase their confidence, knowledge and skills in supporting people affected by alcohol.
