Even though training in asthma management is a serious topic, we pride ourselves on our energetic, practical and engaging format that simulates real worlds scenarios. Our courses contain valuable video content to ensure participants remain engaged rather than listening to war stories of the trainer’s past experiences. Unlike many other providers, all our trainers are highly qualified, with our senior trainers and our program coordinator qualified as division 1 nurses, emergency service workers, or paramedics. Our standards are high to ensure that the information you receive during this course is current, practical, and not just taught by a ‘first aider’. We believe in providing highly qualified trainers with real and current industry experience.

There are many topics within this asthma course. For a full list of the information taught and assessed, we recommend viewing the 22556VIC course criteria upon which our course is based.
