How will the Accelerated Emergency Program help you? Here's what a previous delegate has to say...

"Being a recent graduate I sometimes found myself being intimidated when it came to dealing with emergency cases. That all changed when I came across the 15 - module AES Accelerated Emergency Program . The fun and easy-to-follow modules thoroughly covered various subjects, and during the course we were provided with all necessary theory, alongside supporting videos, to prepare us for each week’s new module. By the end of the program I was able to collectively organise all my knowledge in such a way which allowed me to be more confident in managing any kind of emergency that would come through the door.

If you wish to follow a course that will prepare you to effectively respond to emergency cases, then this is the program for you and I honestly cannot recommend it enough!"
