Training and Workforce Development
Welcome to N-DAP Training and Workforce Development. N-DAP runs training courses in basic drug and alcohol awareness along with many other courses relating to substance misuse.
Unfortunately, our training is only available to Norfolk organisations, residents and those organisations with clients in Norfolk.
N-DAP training is, in most instances, given free of charge but penalty costs can be incurred and will be charged regardless for late cancellation and 'no shows'. We strongly recommend that before applying for any of our courses you read our Terms and Conditions of Training.2011/2012 Training Schedule
We are currently in the process of putting our 2011/12 training schedule together; this will be an on-going process over the next couple of months. To view our courses click here. Our policy is that no more than 3 people from any one organisation book on any one course; this ensures fairness; good networking and sharing of experiences.
Please do not assume that you have a place on any of our courses unless you have received a confirmation letter or email.
