Alcohol and Other Drugs

Alcohol, tobacco and other drug use is a major cause of preventable disease, illness and death in Australia.* Developing the skills to support those affected by alcohol and drug dependency is a valuable investment in professional development.

Alcohol and other drug qualifications provide the skills to make a positive impact on people's lives, increase your career opportunities and enable personal growth by improving your empathy and communication skills.

“I wanted to help people to change their lives, and for others to know that recovery is possible. I had my own lived experience but needed the formal qualifications to get employment in the industry.

I’ve completed Certificate IV in Mental Health and the Alcohol and Other Drugs Skill Set with genU Training. I choose genU because I wanted face to face learning and they have a great reputation. I found the trainers to be very helpful and so knowledgeable about the content delivered. They’ve even made themselves available since the course has ended for any questions that I have.”
