Comments

First aid training seems to be a new concept for me but such training should be there in the system as mental diseases can be cured if it is treated at the first symptom. Most symptoms are thought to be natural or temporary and gradually due to negligence, the problem develops into a disease which will need sophisticated & costly treatment and often without result. So first aid training will help in great extent.

Very good course - mental health is very much over looked and if spotted it can help massively in the care given. What a shame there isn't anything offered like this in the UK on the NHS!

Allies Security,

 

thanks for your comments. It should be noted however that the $75.00 fee was an introductory fee and that our course cost is now $125.00 for community members and NGO staff. There is a special rate available for mental health carers and family members of a person with a mental illness.

We still see this cost ($125.00) as being extremely affordable and to the best of our knowledge it is one of the cheapest rates available for this course.

The course for July is now full but plenty of places are available for August and September courses. For those interested, please contact our administration officer on 9332-0777  to find out more.

 

Regards

The ARAFMI Team

$75 fee is very affordable for every one. As we all know First aid training is essential so I would like to thanks for offering it at this best price.

thanks
