Save Money With Our Training

Our training saves you money in a couple of ways:

• By decreasing the chance of an accident, lowering the likelihood of injury and accident costs
• By helping you get state certified as a drug-free workplace, which brings workers’ comp discounts and tax breaks
• By making it easier for you to get contract work, as most companies hiring contractors will require certification

Interactive and Engaging Training

The idea of taking drug and alcohol training does not thrill most employees. They think it will be dull, a waste of time, and not very insightful.

But this assumption is exactly what motivates us to make our training great.

We add interactive elements and features to our training. We want trainees not only to see the material, but also to put the material to use. Engaging and grappling with the content is the best way to learn that material.

We also work hard to research our course content thoroughly. Our goal is to cut through misconceptions and replace them with truth. We want to surprise our trainees.

Most employees may go into our training thinking it is purely procedural. But hopefully their ideas about our training will have changed after they complete it.

We’ve had many trainees tell us they were surprised by what they learned in the training and were also impressed with the interactivity.
