The following has just been added to lildev666s Blog.

Here goes my first attempt at a blog...lol Where to start, let me see, oh yeah at the beginning! Ok So I have chosen my CP course, well it choose me I guess. Either way I start on Monday 7th April, two days time. One pre req for the course I am attending is to hold FAW – HSE qualification, yes its laughable I know (the *MINIMUM *requirement, yes you guessed it, decided and required by those nice people at the sia to gain your CP licence!). I am also doing a paediatrics and a defibrillator course, both optional. Some companies who offer CP training the first aid is inclusive and have defibrillator bit included. I chose to do my FAW - HSE, the week before at the local college, this was delivered by a former nurse who had been in A & E as well as other wards within the local hospital. The course was broken up into four days. Mornings and afternoons were spilt with theory and practical teaching so you didn’t get bored. There course was attended by 10 students, all from different backgrounds. Day four was written test in the morning, in the afternoon practical test. An external verifier from the Red Cross was brought in to assess us. I am glad to say I got the ticks in the right boxes. I put the correct bandages on the severely bleeding parts and called the make believe ambulance...my patient survived, (he got up after the lorry ran him over in the loading bay lol) my certificate is in the post. It wasn’t that difficult and most of it is common sense. I will let you know about the other two courses they are in May... watch this space for more details. Mmm thought sometimes dangerous but in this case I think I’m safe... Should everyone in the security industry hold a First Aid qualification should it be a requirement to be able to get a license Doesn’t it state you have a duty of care... somewhere in the manual How can you carry out that duty of care without a first aid qualification Answers on a post - card, to the SIA hehee. Ahem before I get carried away, I had better go...
