Hi try CRG they have gtd jobs for their course members and have a good funding scheme i think they still run where as you pay a percentage up front and the rest out of your first pay packet. They are running open days over the next few months and they are the biggest company both home and abroad, pays not as good as it was but gets you a foot in the door, experience and a licence.

Hope that helps there are other companies but CRG are the biggest.

The only things guarenteed are death and nurses, even CRG cannot guarentee positions after the course, be very careful about anyone who says they can. No work is guarenteed, thats the nature of the business, and when you get on contracts, they are sometimes cut short or decreased in size. I have seen it happen to many times.

Gaurenteed work after a CP course, where??? lol I think there would be a pretty damned big Q if there was...

If there is guaranteed work after a course, i would think some fellas who havent worked for some time would pay to do the course, just to get a job!!! smell the coffee boys!!

First things first. I dont work for CRG....

If you look at the site, its not as simple as rocking up, passing and getting a job.
1. You have to be interviewed and then selected to do the course
2. If you get on the course, you then have to pass it.
3. To be offered a job, you,ll have to pass another interview.

The charge is £1800.00 What they used to do (not sure anymore) was charge you £500.00 and then take the rest out of your wages, when you were working for them.

CRG HECPO course is £1800, if given a job in country depending on your rotation they will take a percentage from your first invoice or the whole amount. Not all people who do the course automatically get a contract and the wait for those who do can be 24hrs up to several months. So good luck

Alright mate CRG are good but there HECPO courses are full to the brim at the minute, the cost of the course is £2660 if you have your HSE First aid at work cert otherwise i think its about £3300 the HECPO with the HECPO course you pay £500 straight up then the remainder out of your first wage os if you fail the course you get 3 month to pay the remaining amount which i'm not sure what that is. I have just completed the CRG course and no one is guarenteed work you have to be invited to attend an interview and apparently they are not recruiting for the next 3 - 4 month
