    We use InScience, based in Christchurch but they travel around the country. Have the option of in-person or online training too.
    We purchase all our kit through them as well.

    We used Sobercheck. The online training took 3.5hrs and the trainer was Tania Jarvis who was excellent. Our ABT was purchased from Sobercheck and is a Lifeloc FC10. Sobercheck also calibrate for us every 6 months.

    The new Alcolizer breathalysers certified to AS3547:2019 are calibrated annually so takes the headache away of sending every six months. Moreover, if your devices are certified to AS3547:2019 they should be reading in g/210l of breadth. ug/l was for the old standard and some suppliers are providing As3547:2019 certified devices to read in ug/l which means the tools are no longer certified to the standard. HH4 breathalyser or LE5 as used by Police in Australia are BT and you can print a docket with a positive result if required.

    We do the same as John Easton, Sobercheck and Tania Jarvix as this can be done through teams or Zoom.

    Dear Genevieve

    I run trainings regularly on Zoom and face to face, being a member of AMROA and AS/NZS committee our courses are very hands on and provide practical tips.
    Two of the tools that NZ police trialed for roadside testing Druglizer and Drugwioes are supplied by Advance Diagnostics and we also provide Oral Detect certified to the standards.
