It is mandatory that participants complete the self-directed online learning program (inclusive of MCQs) prior to attending the full day face to face workshop and competency validation.

It is mandatory that participants be present for the entire duration of the course (8.00 am to 5pm local time). Therefore, it is highly recommended for interstate travellers to arrive at the course location at least one day prior to the commencement of the course.
