The objective of this course is to allow students with a basic knowledge of first aid to become proficient and confident in the practical application of their skills.
A lot of time will be spent on primary and secondary surveys and introduction to patient simulations so students learn to make the right decisions on the extent of an injury and treat it correctly.
An additional statement of results may be applied for from the QCTO, if required for Occupational Health and Safety qualification.
This submission is done on request only and carries an additional administrative fee. A QCTO statement of results can take up to 18 months post course to receive and the speed of this government regulated process is out of our control.
