Typically, students undertake the course through a combination of classroom and online study, known as blended learning. All training can be conducted on school grounds in a gym with suitable equipment, using the class students as the clients.

Note: if you are a school staff member, you can find out more about establishing partnering arrangements here.

For the theory component of the course, resources are online in our world class eLearning system. Resources can be printed or provided on a USB stick if needed.
