Our nationally accredited Drug and Alcohol Testing training course is designed to train people in how to conduct drug and alcohol testing. This course will enable students to understand how to complete Drug and Alcohol testing in the workplace in a safe, legal and ethical manner.

It is a requirement for anyone collecting urine or oral fluid samples to meet Australian Standards and to be trained as a collector per AS/NZS 4308:2008, AS 4760:2019, and AS 3547:2019.

The structure of your course includes:

  • Outlining the responsibilities of a collector and the employee
  • Detailing best practice principles to ensure privacy and confidentiality
  • Duty of care, provision of information, fairness, and gender and cultural sensitivity
  • Planning & conducting appropriate Drug & Alcohol testing activities
  • Ensuring respectful communication regarding testing activities & outcomes
  • Responding effectively to testing challenges including positive test results
  • Providing testing in remote locations
  • Dealing with refusal, or failure to undergo testing
  • Outlining notification and record keeping requirements

On successful completion, participants will be issued with a Statement of Attainment with the following unit:

  • HLTPAT005 Collect specimens for drugs of abuse testing

For the online course, participants must have access to a computer with Microsoft Word to complete the theory component of the online training.

Participants must also have a method of recording themselves (mobile phone, computer/laptop with webcam, tablet with camera etc.) to complete the video assessment portion of the course.

As part of the video assessment conditions for this course, participants will need three (3) different ‘clients’ to test. These can be roleplayed by family, friends or colleagues, but three (3) different people must be tested.
