Not sure what the latest first aid techniques are ? or just plain rusty and need some refreshing?

Well here's an opportunity, the club is offering first aid training at no cost to members - what a bargain ! Preference given to leaders, and may be extended to members if the minimum number is not reached.

The training consists of two parts: a) an online component of about 3-4 hours (mainly videos and questions) is required to be completed prior to, b) a practical face-to face element of approximately 4 hours. The practical element of the course will be conducted on Wed 12 Jun 24 (0900 to 1230) at Fyshwick.
