Course Overview

Courses and Modules

ASPA's primary interest in training students is to be able to fulfil the vocational roles illustrated on the chart below. To be able to do this, ASPA conducts training in two areas (at the present time) with the intention of developing additional scope (at a later time) to be able to satisfy the additional roles. The two areas are first aid and instructor development.
