Equipment
Vocational Advanced Emergency Care (first-aid) courses are equipment intensive because it is key that students are able to use and operate actual equipment. CPR mannequins, automatic defibrillators, oxygen supply and resuscitation units and well as advanced splints, MAST suits, and extraction devices are all essential tools of being able to be a Ski Patroller. For this reason all courses require a base level of equipment. The minimum list below is provided to all courses.
Equipment Administration
Towable equipment trailers are available for courses. The equipment can be moved from venue to venue and consumables are replenished prior to each course. The equipment list below is available for each course.
Maintenance
The Course Directors are responsible for highlighting the repair and maintenance needs to Vice President Education, who will arrange maintenance and repair.
