2016 First Aid Refresher and Training Course

Posted on by Tim Wiel

2016-11-first-aid-training-cover-01

CYC Waihola is running a one-day Practical First-Aid Course through the Red Cross. We have been able to gain some very good training rates so are able to offer the following courses at well below the usual cost:

  • Practical First Aid Full Course (Unit Standards 6401 and 6402) – 4 hours (9am – 1pm) – $140 each
  • Practical First Aid Refresher (Unit Standards 6401 and 6402) – 4 hours (9am – 1pm) – $110 each

This course is the equivalent of Workplace First Aid and is valid for two years.

Both courses will run on Saturday 26th November 2016 from 9.00am through to 1.00pm at the Clark House.
The training is open to anyone – they don’t need to be a CYC volunteer – we must reach 10 people in each course to make the pricing work so please register your name by emailing kidscamps@cycwaihola.org.nz .
The instructors will be focusing on providing core first aid scenarios but may use applications that CYC Leaders will encounter within a kids camp ministry. It is essential we have more first aid qualified leaders within our camps.

To make it cheaper we are making it a shared lunch so bring something to share – still talk to us if this is too much and we might be able to sweeten the deal for you if you are a poor lonely student.

At the end of the day you have a current First Aid Certificate that is valid for 2 years. You will come away with NZQA Unit Standards 6401 and 6402

The CYC Waihola leaders tramp is now an annual classic.

This year we have decided to take a week and do the Milford Track.

It is a winter tramp so expect the following from the weekend:

– easy going track

– minus 0 degrees temperatures and maybe snow

– warm fellowship and good food

Those interested will need to contact Tim at the CYC office to talk about the tramp.

Some limited transport may be available from Waihola to the tramp and home again.

 

Your gear will need to include:

– Good boots with ankle support

– Very warm clothing (including two sets of thermals)(last time we did this tramp there was a -5 degree night in the hut)

– Very warm sleeping bag (again it is very cold)

– Wet weather gear (last time it snowed)

– Your own food (although dehydrated food is available for purchase from CYC at our cost price)
