(See units below under Certification)
Course Overview
This unique course is the only Emergency Medical Technician program accredited to the Certificate IV level in Australia and represents a quality pathway to a Pre-Hospital Care career for a variety of industries.
The program was designed by industry for industry and as such delivers advanced medical skills and knowledge to produce an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) - a cross-industry medic trained in patient assessment and prehospital treatment of emergency medical and traumatic conditions.
The AEMT may work in mining, emergency services, armed services, forestry, fire, diving, aviation, tourism, security, health and the event industry, to name a few.
The AEMT in the above context may be independent of an ambulance environment, but at the same time, synchronous if the need arises. In rural and isolated areas the AEMT may represent the highest level of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) initially available - they need to be well trained.
The AEMT program incorporates the highest clinical content of any program below Diploma level, and assists industry with personnel suitable for the job. Industry needed a program that would allow the tailoring of qualifications to suit various needs - the huge range of program electives attest to this - the subject matter of many of these electives do not exist in Health Care or Diploma programs.
Duration and Mode of Delivery: This program is delivered in two stages: 300 - 350 hours of pre-course assessments dependent upon the individual (self directed) and 17.5 days face to face in the classroom (includes 2 lay days)
Reasonable Adjustment: FRA supports learners with recognised disabilities and makes adjustments, where possible, according to each individuals need. The level of adjustment required is determined on a case by case basis between FRA and the learner with a disability. FRA ensures any reasonable adjustment does not compromise the integrity of the competency standards.
Assessment Will Include: Written/Oral Questions, Practical Assessments & Scenario Based Assessments.
Includes: Manual, Student Folder with Study Guides, Assessment (all electronic) and Certificates.
Cost: $5,980.00 (GST Free) Note pricing subject to change
