While you study
We recommend that you undertake voluntary work experience in the field during your studies. There are many organisations who are accountable for providing staff for various events from basic First Aid to Intensive Care Paramedics.
Another common practice is to gain experience while working as an event medic (concerts, festivals, fairs, etc) in your city as this will give you a taste of the job while providing hands-on experience required to move you further in your career. It’s also an amazing opportunity to start making contacts within the industry who can help you get experience during your journey.

All courses are delivered online and include face-to-face practical workshops in either Sydney, Melbourne or the sunny Gold Coast.

Testimonials
You wanted some feedback, I’d seriously give it a 10/ 10, everything went well. I didn’t mind it being just you and me in the meeting as I got more attention to where I was up to in the course which was great. I also didn’t mind just sitting and listening.
Michael
I learned a lot in the two weeks. I was pleasantly surprised, before I came up I was starting to wonder if I was cut out for this type of job, but this reaffirmed that this is what I want to do.I have learned that I can come into a situation quite calm and communicate well with patients and my partner. I learn a lot better in a practical situation so it was a good way for me to see what I am capable of learning.

Brendan has a great teaching style. He changes his style to teach each student how they need to be taught. It’s great and helps everyone get the most out of the 2 weeks.
Martin
I enjoyed your course and gained a lot out if it and will be able to deliver a much higher standard of care as a result.
