Learning Support

 

The ASPA Electronic Library contains sample tests, training materials, PowerPoint presentations, scenarios and handouts.  It also provides access to the Asparations magazine.

 

Students should attempt to form learning groups for familiarisation with equipment. The equipment is available for loan, and instructors are available to attend evening group learning events.

 

The ASPA First Aid Manual is the authorised text for the ASPA Advanced Emergency Care course and is available for the Secretary and the Course Directors.

 

An electronic version of the ASPA First Aid Manual is available on CD at a cost of $15.00 (and contains colour photos, search function and additional materials).

Students are able to use a range of welfare resources and are provided with advice in the ASPA Training Handbook.

 

 

Additionally, web-based resources can assist students in dealing with issues associated with the course.
