The interactive and hands-on nature of the course will ensure that students are well prepared to deliver medical aid when back in their own workplace settings. The course is also setup in modules, meaning that students can complete in a timeframe that suits them and their employer.

Enrolment should be a minimum of six weeks prior to attending the virtual workplace as there is a requirement to complete the essential pre-learning and assessment during this time.
