To Register:
- 91社区 staff and faculty, use this register online.
- Student registrants sent by professor and paying by FOAPAL, use this register online.
- Student registrants paying by credit card, please complete and submit the听Paying Participant Training Form.
Basic instructions:
- Participants may bring and wear a surgical / procedural mask for the entire length of the training in person, 14 hours. Note: CNESST has lift-off the obligation to wear it.
- Medic (training company) could provide: one pair of gloves (medium for the CPR practice on the Mannequin), plus one kit of bandages for a practice session on oneself. The instructor will provide detailed instructions (how and when to use).
- Lunch: free period - you may take this inside or outside the training room.
- All practice sessions being held are mandatory. It hits at bare minimum two birds with one stone: (1) provide an opportunity for the instructor to correct and evaluate each participant on their technical/theoretical knowledge; and (2) assist the entire group in learning best practices and procedures through the method of repeating and learning from each other鈥檚 mistakes.
- Health Questionnaires (not applicable at this time)
