This course is taught by Emergency Medical Response professionals.
This course takes participants to a higher level of training and is designed to train First Aiders to manage patient care until the arrival of an Ambulance during complex incidents and emergencies.

Student Links
I enjoyed and learned so much from this course. It was hard work but well worth it. Credit goes to our Trainer David who is a true example of what a good educator is. He was supportive, encouraging yet firm and only expects the best from his students. Any course/s can only be as good as the Trainer. Congratulations Pinnacle for having David on board.
