Train the Trainer course

Our one-day comprehensive training programme, led by one of Drinkaware's expert trainer, enables your ‘in house’ trainers and wellbeing leads to deliver one-hour workshops directly to their employees. Our course will ensure they have knowledge and confidence to deliver our one hour ‘Everything You Need to Know About Alcohol’ workshops to your staff.

Who is the training for?

The training is suitable for all employees who will be responsible for delivering in house employee wellbeing workshops and sessions. Typically Drinkaware supports trainers who currently deliver a range of in house training. They may be Wellbeing Champions, Mental Health First Aiders or be employed in Learning and Development or HR functions.

How the sessions are structured?

Our Drinkaware expert trainer leads the group session for the day. We can accommodate groups of up to ten prospective trainers. They will be taken through the group workshop as a participant initially, as this allows them to experience the session first-hand. There will be an opportunity for reflection and feedback before our lead trainer takes the group through a comprehensive breakdown of each module highlighting the relevant points to cover.

Prospective trainers will complete aspects of the modules in groups with specific feedback and best practice discussion sessions. They will then have the opportunity to present specific modules of the course back to the group, this will be followed by group discussion and instructor feedback.

Drinkaware’s core values of being led by the evidence and facts and being non-judgemental in our messaging and tone of voice are extolled throughout the training session.
