Overview of Training Course
Drug tests can be performed for a number of reasons and therefore there are a number of different methods used to test for drugs.  This course is aimed at providing a program for collection personnel with the training to become proficient in alternative (hair, oral fluids and on-site testing) specimen collection for drug testing in the workplace.  This course will ensure that the collection is performed in a professional and consistent manner, maintaining confidentiality for the donor and security, integrity, and control of the specimen.

DATIA's training on alternative specimens and on-site testing is the first and only national training program covering these types fo collections.
