Alcohol Identification & Brief Advice Training (Nottingham City)

Thank you for your interest in Alcohol Identification and Brief Advice (IBA) Training! This in-person 3-hour session is full of hands-on learning, interactive activities, and practical insights.

During the session, you’ll explore:

• The risks and dangers of alcohol use
• What alcohol units are and how to calculate them
• How to use the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and have supportive conversations about the results
• How to provide safe harm reduction advice and signpost people to specialist services

But this training isn't all theory. You’ll get to:

• Step into someone else’s shoes with beer goggles and experience the effects of alcohol
• Join in with interactive challenges testing your knowledge of standard drink serving sizes
• Practice giving advice with confidence
• Take part in quizzes and friendly competitions

By the end of the training, you’ll walk away with practical skills, a solid understanding of alcohol-related risks, and confidence in supporting others—all while having a fun, engaging experience that sticks with you.

Here's what some of our recent attendees have said about the session: "Just want to say thank you very much. The session was eye-opening“, "Really good mix of practical and theory”, “Interactive and interesting – topics coving a broad aspect of alcohol use and effects."
