A training journey


Our learning journeys include different methods of training. You can choose from:

Face to face learning
Do you want practical, skills based learning with one of our trainers? We’d love to meet you! We recommend this option if your team are in need of support with implementation of harm reduction interventions, or would benefit from on-the-job coaching and advice.


E-learning and virtual training
Are your team in need of gaining more knowledge about a harm reduction topic with less focus on practicing skills? We can also meet you online! We recommend this option if your team would like to be get an insight into harm reduction concept, and are happy to be empowered to work on skills independently without the trainer.


Blended learning
Of course, you can also combine face to face learning, e-learning, and virtual training for a more comprehensive experience. We recommend this option if you would like your team to have a long-term learning experience, with focus on both knowledge transfer and skill development.
