You should not drunk that I am think!

Social Responsibility Course (English)

Excuse me? What did you say? Social Responsibility?

What a strange name! And yes, we fully agree with that. What should be a training Social Responsibility be about? We prefer calling it the training Social Safety, but that will confuse the examination body. In conclusion, we stick to Social Responsibility, but we mean Social Safety. Are you still with us? It is not a big deal.

The training Social Responsibility teaches you how to create a safe as possible environment for you, your colleagues and your guests. We will provide you with background knowledge about alcohol, drugs and gambling. Interesting, we hear you think! Do you also receive a try-out package? No, you don’t! This knowledge is necessary to understand where certain risk behaviour comes from. Risk behaviour is not only showed by people when under influence, sometimes one word can be enough to trigger certain behaviour.

When creating a safe as possible environment it is not only about dealing with people, but also with rules, like the Alcohol Act, layout requirements, fire safety and technical provisions. And by the way, you are obligated to meet the Social Responsibility requirements if you serve and/or sell alcohol.

Start now and ensure that your business can guarantee the safety for your guests and employees and, meet at the same time the legal obligations and prevent receiving fines. You do not need any preliminary training. If you like to come to one of our locations, you are more than welcome, we provide a training-day from 9 AM tot 5:45 PM, including the official SVH exam. Do you prefer learning the theory at your own pace, than we have an online training for you. In that case we plan an SVH exam separately.
