This qualification is free to members again this year.

National code HLTAID011 (this incorporates HLTAID009 and HLTAID010)

Updates – Many of us completed this award combined with the BM requal two or three years ago (because it was made free by SLSA). The cert lasts 3 years, so will be running out for many people – check in Members area. SLSA has made the qual free again this season, so the plan is to do a series of 4 hr updates following the requals, i.e. during November and December. You must have a current BM to be able to update.

New awards – There will be opportunities to complete the full award for those who have never held the certificate. The first of these will be with the November Bronze quad – training Wednesday evenings 6:30 to 8pm for six weeks. The second opportunity will be a full day course in the summer break on a date to suit candidates. Please give Jeff a text to seek further info or to register.

There are always lots of questions around training, particularly if you’re new to the club. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch by phone or text.

Please register your interest for any of the above courses with Education Team Leader, Jeff Medcalf at education@albanysurfclub.com.au or call 0403 789 746.
