FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions on this course; please click on any questions below to expand the content.
WHY DOES THIS COURSE HAVE A SELF-PACED (ONLINE) PERSONAL STUDY COMPONENT?
People looking to undertake an anaphylaxis training course might be unaware that this accredited course has, in fact, been written as a 4-hour course; therefore, no training provider in Australia should deliver this course in one hour or less without a personal study component. Like a TV Judge once said, “if it sounds too good to be true, then it is!” Think about it…. how do you fit 4 hours of training content and assessment into 1 hour without homework OR, more importantly, how do you fit 4 hours of learning and assessment into 1 hour as some providers are claiming?
For this reason, we have developed an interactive, informative and enjoyable online personal study component that allows you to complete all the non-practical yet important components of your course in your own time at home or at work. Our online component contains videos and a presentation that will guide you. Once you have completed the learning materials for each topic, you will be asked to complete a small quiz to confirm your understanding of what you have just learned.
NOTE: This course’s online (personal study) component only contains one topic with a quiz.
WHAT IF I AM NOT CONFIDENT USING A COMPUTER?
For those who are not confident with a computer, it is recommended that you call our office before enrolling. We may be able to arrange for you to complete your personal study component online at our training centre after your face-to-face session.
WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER, ACCESS TO A PRINTER, OR INTERNET?
Never fear; we have a solution for you. For those who do not have a computer, please call our office before enrolling. We will need to arrange for you to complete your personal study component online at our training centre after your face-to-face session using our computers.
WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH THE 1HR IN-CLASS (FACE-TO-FACE) TRAINING SESSION?
The face-to-face training session is a fun, interactive, hands-on session that covers all the practical elements of the anaphylaxis training course. Information is presented to you in a conversational delivery approach, with lots of real-world scenarios, enhanced video, modern presentations and, most importantly, a direct focus on practical, easy-to-implement approaches and techniques to first aid.
