There are many Awards you can do. These Awards will make you a more rounded Surf Life Saver plus provide you with very useful life skills that you may unexpectedly need to call on at home, the Office, at, School on holidays, etc.
Advanced Resuscitation Techniques Course
Long Reef plans to run an Advanced Resuscitation Techniques Course in February dates TBC.
The aim of the course:
To provide participants with more advanced skills, knowledge in the application of oxygen, airway management devices (OP Airways), automated external defibrillators, during resuscitation and in a variety of emergency situations.
Why would I do this course, aren’t these covered in the Bronze training?
This course takes your skills to the next level. You will learn advanced techniques with the use of equipment that aims to improve patient survival rates. The course will run for one evening, plus one full day. Please register your interest by emailing chief.instructor@longreef.com.
IRB Drivers and Crew courses
Following the initial introduction, the courses will run one day of the weekend from 7.30am and one day during the week or after
For those early birds training kicks off this Saturday at 9.30 am while Rob is on patrol.
