Training

Barod can provide a wide range of training, education and awareness-raising to professionals who work with substance users and those affected by substance use.

If you are a current or former service user looking to develop skills and interest, please visit the Cyfle Cymru East or Cyfle Cymru West page or check out your local service for what they provide.

Tailored Programmes

As well as great value ‘ready to run’ courses that you can commission for your organisation or group (see the list below), we also specialise in developing bespoke training in many topics related to substance use. Our courses are built to fit in with the needs of the trainees, and we can adapt one of the training courses below or develop a training course specifically for you.

Open Courses

Throughout the year, Barod runs a number of open courses where you can book on to learn something new with us.

New courses will be advertised on social media and via an open course programme.

Barod can provide all of our courses online.  Click here to visit our Online Training page for more details

Free Training

Some of our teams provide free training to professionals as part of their commissioned service specification.  These are organised within the locality so please check the service near you to find out what, if anything, is available.  You can find details of your local services on the Where to get help page

Blended Learning

We can design blended learning options that incorporate online or face-to-face sessions, supported by an eLearning package. These provide pre/ during / post course learning opportunities and can be developed for any of the workshops we offer.

For information or to discuss your needs further, please contact us.

Quality Assurance

We have a reputation for delivering high quality training, that is regularly reviewed by our experienced learning and development team, to make sure it remains up-to-date, accurate and interesting.

We also provide Train the Trainer packages to help other professionals learn how to deliver our courses, providing on-going support and quality assurance.

Barod is an approved Agored Cymru Accreditation Centre, meaning we have to evidence the quality of what we provide to an external body.
