The AlcoDigital training course that we attended has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and understanding that enables us to confidently implement drug and alcohol policy and procedures that make the workplace a safer place.

Adam Dobbin

TSCO Project Manager - Virtus Traffic Management Solutions

I attended the AlcoDigital training in Nottingham on the 31st October 2019. I found the training very well organised and very informative, the full day was very relaxed and interactive, I found myself asking lots of questions and making notes. I realised that there was so much I didn’t know or understand about substance abuse, the testing procedure and Chain of Custody procedure was complicated but very well explained, Kieren was very patient in allowing me to go over the procedures until I understood and was a little more confident. The follow up email I received from Kieren Casey, was full of information and very useful and will assist me with my future abuse testing at work. I feel that to have AlcoDigital always available to give advice and assistance in the future is a great advantage to our company.

David Emmerson

Provost Transport Consulting Limited

I have known AlcoDigital since 2016 and I have been on 2 training courses with them, both very informative and with lots of constructive advice. Kieren Casey who instructed the course was very knowledgeable about his subject matter and forthcoming with advice and ideas as was his predecessor. I am sure that AlcoDigital will be of great help to me as my business grows.

Jez Thompson

Capital Traffic Management

This Drugs & Alcohol Testing course, which was run by Kieren and Claire, was very engaging, informative and genuinely interesting. I was a complete novice regarding these subjects before, and now I feel I have enough knowledge to include in my Tool Box Talks as Compliance and H&S Manager here at Capital Traffic Management. I definitely recommend attending this course and adding another string to your bow.

Who should attend?

Our courses are suitable for all levels of staff. Typically, we train Health & Safety Officers, Occupational Health Workers, Transport Managers, Fleet Managers, HR Managers, Operations Managers, SHEQ & QEHS Coordinators, Company Directors and other staff performing roles involving health, safety and well being.

The course will suit you if you are at any of the following stages:

No current alcohol and drug policy but looking to introduce one
Current policy but want to review it and introduce drug & alcohol testing
Unsure whether you want to implement in-house testing or out-source to an external drug & alcohol testing service
Already do in-house alcohol and/or drug testing but want to review current procedure and equipment
Already use alcohol and drug testing equipment but only require training for a couple of people
You are/want to be a provider of alcohol and drug testing services

It is always recommended that you review your current drug and alcohol policy and procedures on a regular basis.

If you are in the early stages of introducing a policy, you will receive up-to-date information on legislation and the best steps to apply alcohol and drug testing. If you are in the latter stages, then you can review your current policy and ensure you are complying with best practice procedures.
