Introduction
Welcome to Nordat Training Page. The DAAT and our partner agencies run training in basic drug and alcohol awareness, and many other courses which you will find listed via the link under 2011/2012 Training Schedule below.
Unfortunately our training is only available to Norfolk organisations; Norfolk residents and those organisations with clients in Norfolk.
The DAAT 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' so 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.

Alcohol - Brief Interventions Training - FOR NHS STAFF ONLY
NHS Norfolk, Great Yarmouth & Waveney have identified funds with which to implement a series of initiatives aimed at reducing the number of alcohol related hospital admissions in Norfolk.
We are able to offer the following Brief Interventions training options:
- Lunch time sessions (see note below)
- · Half day courses (see note below)
- · Full day courses.
We are currently in the process of scheduling our Brief Interventions training courses and dates for the one day courses will be published as soon as possible.
If you would like to arrange a half day in-house or lunchtime session for your team or GP practice please contact us to discuss your requirements.
To book on-line please click here.. Spare places will be offered on a course by course basis to non-NHS staff.
The Brief Interventions training day is one element of a course which comprises three parts:
- A 'Brief Interventions' training day (run by the UEA)
- An online consolidation exercise to review material from the BI session and to
reinforce learning.
- A 'Train the trainers' course (run by Alcohol Concern) to prepare identified individuals to become a facilitator of further training in their practice area (please note a separate application will need to be made for this element).
