What will I be able to do when I complete
this senior first aid course?
This senior first aid course provides
you with the knowledge and skills that enable you to prevent,
identify and manage life threatening emergencies.
What training material will I use?
When you book and pay for your senior
first aid course you will receive a comprehensive senior first
aid training manual. The manual contains all the administrative
and training requirements you need to study and complete your
course.
Why do I spend only one day in the
classroom?
This senior first aid course course is
based on the 'Open Learning Principle'. This means you can study
at home for two days and spend only one day in the classroom.
How do I work through the study material?
The senior first aid course manual is
divided into chapters. You study one chapter at a time. There
are self-check questions to help you. After you have studied the
material you complete a questionnaire. This will help you to determine
how much you have learnt. When you have completed all the chapters,
you attend class. Your senior first aid instructor will revise
your answers and help you with the practical work. It is an intelligent
way to learn Senior First Aid at a pace that suits you.
I have no experience in Senior First
Aid, how difficult is it going to be to learn?
The senior first aid course manual you
receive is designed to ensure that students at all levels are
able to achieve the competencies required. It is well illustrated
and the language used in the course is easy to understand. The
questionnaires are clear and well laid out. This makes the process
of assessing your competencies a productive and enjoyable learning
experience. Your manual will answer all the questions you may
have. We also encourage you to ask questions during the practical
session in class. Safecity's courses are conducted in a friendly
and supportive atmosphere.

the course in a classroom.
