Short courses

For over 15 years the Department of Paramedicine has offered a range of first responder and paramedic short course programs. We deliver short courses to students and professionals currently working in, or planning employment in paramedicine and community-based emergency health settings. Our suite of short courses has been developed to meet the initial training and/or on-going professional development requirements of many organisations and professionals in paramedicine and community-based emergency health settings.
