Prefer Hands‑on, Practical Training – but only have 1 or 2 People?
We have you covered with our hands‑on, practical, nationally recognised training — perfect for small teams and job seekers wanting to boost their CV.
Our public courses are now open for the updated nationally recognised unit of competency HLTPAT010 – Collect specimens for drugs of abuse testing. This new unit replaces HLTPAT005 Collect specimens for drugs of abuse testing and reflects the latest regulatory and compliance requirements for workplace drug and alcohol testing.
Unique Advantages
While our online HLTPAT010 course remains a flexible, high‑quality option, we know face‑to‑face learning offers unique advantages – especially when building practical confidence in real‑world testing.
To give organisations and individuals a simple, accessible certification pathway, Alcolizer Technology is now delivering Public HLTPAT010 courses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Tasmania and Perth! These sessions offer the same nationally recognised training trusted by our corporate clients, with pre‑set dates, central venues, and easy individual enrolment.
