Recognition of Prior Learning - RPL
In order to ensure an extremely high standard in education for our instructor programmes, it shall be the policy of EMTS Training Solutions not to offer any form of RPL for this particular program.
Our rationale for this is to ensure we provide all of our students with access to the latest training methodologies, technologies, clinical practice guidelines and best standards and practices within the Prehospital Emergency Care Training Sector, including access to some of the best Prehospital Emergency Care Training Educators who have been approved by PHECC and selected by EMTS Training Solutions for their dedication and commitment to excellence in their field.
EMTS also has a small limited faculty who will teach our EMTS Instructor Courses.
Certification: Persons who successfully complete the 2-day First Aid Response Instructor course plus the additional supervised teaching practice and evaluation will be certified as a First Aid Response instructor. Award of joint PHECC/recognised institution First Aid Response Instructor cards/certificates by the recognised institution is mandatory.
