GENERAL
We try to tailor the courses around when you need them rather than set dates. We provide a lunch for those that are required to spend the day.
We do require a minimum of four people per class.
We will keep a schedule and remind you with plenty of notice when you have someone coming up requiring a class.
If someone has completed a comprehensive/advanced/workplace first aid course they are current until the expiry date on their certificate. They have a small timeframe outside of that expiry date in which to get a refresher course. If they fall outside the window they will need to resit the advanced/workplace first aid course. But remember they are no longer current past the expiry date.
Currently looking into a Basic Sports first aid course, no unit standard but focussed on sports injuries on the field and how to deal with them. Hopefully ideal for schools, social sports etc.
