about

Are you someone who want to help people? If we talk about the previous generation, they have actually seen the world evolving in front of them. They have seen the world change from black & white TVs to colour, basic phones to smartphones, and newspapers to digital media—literally everything. As the world around them is evolving, the process is slow but consistent. So, they adapt these things accordingly. Now, if we look at the current generation, they literally have a lot of pressure from doing well in their studies, to being popular on social media, to being a particular way to stand out in front of their friends, etc. These things seem easy, but they are actually really tough. They have to manage everything at the same time; even parents push them to do that, even if some of them don't want to.


And to let go of this stuff, generally teenagers choose the path that is going to harm their career as well as their life. You know what we are talking about. They move towards the path that their parents, friends, and families never expected: substance addiction. That doesn't harm them only, but also those people associated with them. With KAL Training CHC43215 Certificate IV in Alcohol and Other Drugs, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge that are required to be a professional in the field.
