Entry Requirements

Outcome

A Great Place To Learn

Language, Literacy and Numeracy Support

At the time of enrolment prospective students are made aware of the fact that a reasonable level of reading, writing and comprehension of the English language is required, due to the high volume of documents required to be processed as part of the course.

In most cases, LLN support can be provided. Where only a low level of support is needed, the program manager may arrange for the student to receive extra-curricular assistance from the trainer or other staff member.

Where an applicant’s LLN deficiency will clearly inhibit achievement of learning outcomes and the applicant refuses LLN support, enrolment may be declined.

Delivery and Assessment Arrangements

The course will be conducted face to face in the classroom with no more than twelve (12) participants. The course consists of PowerPoint and video presentations, theory and practical aspects of assessment, practical CPR assessment using industry standard equipment.
