This qualification is appropriate for the widest possible range of candidates, from the general public to those working with substance users, who wish to gain a broad and objective understanding of the causes and consequences of substance misuse. More specifically this qualification will be of great interest to those working or volunteering in a variety of fields who may come into contact with those involved in, or affected by, substance use. It is therefore useful to those who need general background knowledge or as a progression route for those who wish to work in a more specialised substance use role.
