Equipping Professionals. Empowering Communities.
SANCA National provides accredited training programmes for professionals working in health, education, social services, faith-based institutions, and community development. These courses are designed to build confidence, competence, and practical skills in addressing Substance Use Disorders (SUD), prevention, and recovery support.
​
Whether you're a social worker, educator, nurse, therapist, or community leader, our CPD-aligned courses offer both foundational knowledge and advanced tools to make a meaningful impact in your field.​
Why CPD TRAINING SERVICES Matters
Substance Use Disorders affect nearly every sector of society — from families and schools to the workplace and broader communities. Professionals on the frontline often face these challenges without adequate training, tools, or support.
​
By empowering professionals with evidence-based interventions, clinical insight, and relevant legislation, we help ensure earlier identification, stronger prevention, and more effective treatment outcomes. These trainings not only improve individual practice but also strengthen the systems and networks that support healing and recovery.
With CPD accreditation, our training ensures participants meet professional development requirements while gaining practical skills that can be applied immediately in their work.
