\"\"The Canadian Ski Patrol’s New Patroller Course is a demanding 80+ hour advanced first aid course that gives new patrollers the knowledge and hands-on skills to help people on and off the ski hill. The course consists of online learning covering theory and weekday evening classes covering practical first aid skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon successful completion of the first aid portion, there is an on-snow day during which you will be taught the basics of handling a toboggan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attendance<\/b><\/h6>\n

Due to our national insurance and liability coverage, ALL<\/u><\/strong> new recruits to the Calgary Zone must take the New Patroller Course regardless of any previous medical training. Attending this course is mandatory and non-negotiable.\u00a0 The course starts in mid-September and runs through the end of November.\u00a0 The course is in Calgary and is held two nights per week from about 6:30-9:30pm. There are also two full weekend days in the course \u2013 one for CPR\/AED training and one for field skills.<\/p>\n

\"\"Attendance for the CPR\/AED portion of the course is mandatory unless you have a current Health Care Provider (HCP) level certificate from another acceptable organization (Canadian Red Cross, Heart & Stroke Foundation, St. John\u2019s Ambulance, or Canadian Life Saving Society) that is valid until the end of the upcoming ski season. You will be required to provide a copy of your certificate. If you cannot attend the CPR\/AED day, it will be your responsibility to obtain a CPR\/AED HCP level certificate from one of the above organizations on your time at at your own cost before the start of the patrolling season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pass Requirements<\/b><\/span><\/h6>\n

All online and in-class portions of the course must be completed before taking the exams. There are four assessments:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. CPR\/AED Exam: The pass mark is 80 per cent on a multiple choice exam.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Written Exam: A 100 question, multiple choice exam on the CSP’s First Aid Manual content. A written exam review sheet will be provided beforehand. The pass mark is 80 per cent after which you will be required to correct your exam to 100% using the manual. If you achieve a score of less than 80 per cent, you will be asked to re-write the same exam.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Skills Exam: This is an in-person demonstration of your first aid treatment skills.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Diagnostic Exam: This is a real-time evaluation of your patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment skills. A minimum of 80 per cent is required on the Diagnostic Exam. A single re-test is available. You will be examined by two instructors, each with a different scenario.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While patrollers only have to complete the advanced first aid course once, all patrollers are required to complete the four assessments every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
