Regular refresher training helps ensure workplace drug testing continues to be carried out correctly, consistently and in line with current standards. Over time, small process shortcuts can creep in, confidence can diminish and standards may change. Refresher training reinforces correct procedures while reinforcing best practices and help reduce the risk of testing errors.
Whether your team conducts oral fluid or urine drug testing, our refresher training courses provide a practical way for certified testers to maintain accuracy, strengthen documentation processes and stay confident in their role.
Refresher training is delivered in line with current workplace testing best practice and relevant standards: AS/NZS 4760:2019 for oral fluid testing and AS/NZS 4308:2023 for urine drug testing.
Who is refresher training for?
- Certified workplace drug testers
- Occupational Health Nurses
- Organisations wanting to maintain best practice
- Workplaces preparing for audits or reviewing internal procedures
- Anyone wanting to refresh their knowledge every 2–3 years
Please note: Refresher training courses are not awarded NZQA unit standards.
While NZQA unit standards do not expire, Sober Check recommends refresher training every 2–3 years to maintain competency and stay aligned with current best practice.
