Here’s the good news! National will be offering mandatory training to members to prepare them for the 2020/21 season. Going forward, National has decided that terminology will change so that returning patrollers will re-qualify on Advanced First Aid (AFA) each year (rookies will qualify).

The training will be offered as e-learning modules. Members will receive login details and course instructions as soon as the system has been validated. Some members may already have received their login details by email. Training will have to be completed by the first day of scheduled patrolling or December 1, 2020, whichever is earliest.

The latest version of the first aid manual in epub format can be downloaded here. The latest pdf version of the manual is located here. Changes for 2020 are listed here. Note that the zone is no longer providing printed versions of the manual.
