Can I attend if I have never done this sort of thing before |

|
|
Will I be bored if I have extensive medical background |
|
|
No. If you are attending the pathology collection or ECG workshop then you are learning about these topics and not stuff you already know. For those who have medical experience you will probably find that you absorb some of the information quicker than the rest of the class. We encourage those who have the benefit of extra knowledge to assist those who don\'t.
Remember to enquire about RPL or Recognition if you think you already possess the relevant skills, knowledge and experience. |

I have sustained an injury, is this course going to be suitable |
|
|
We have always been retraining members from the health care industry that, unfortunately have sustained work injuries. Many health care workers decide to join the pathology industry as a side step from nursing, as the job load is a lot lighter and less strenuous. So yes our courses are suitable for those that have existing injuries.
You should consult your Dr or rehabilitation coordinator about the type of work you are able to do before booking into one of our courses. |
