Evening all,
about 7 years ago I completed a St Johns first aid course in remote are first aid, back then the courses where held on weekends. I contacted St Johns today to do another course only to find out they are now run primarily on weekdays. (pain in the bum if you work for a living.) But... if you can get 12 or more people together to do a course at $230 per head they will run them for you at Surry Hills or a branch office or your own location. When I did the course it was great and well worth the money.

So any takers?

Hi Eric,
I don't have any specific dates (although some time in November would be good) I really needed to get some better numbers first, it was always going to be a logistical nightmare.
Thanks again
Graeme

If there are any hassles with the timing or admin of the course, send me a mm. My brother is one of the St Johns senior people.

Hi.

I'd suggest you also consider John & Julie at Getabout 4WD Adventures in Sydney. They provide accredited training and can be more flexible with times and group size. And they are great people. See Getabout 4WD

No association etc etc.

Evening Aussie.Nomad,
Numbers, numbers, numbers, I don't think we will get enough so we are going to look into Getabout4wd a bit more. It is disappointing as the St Johns one was great.
Cheers
