The following information must be read before commencing a course with Medilife.

Physical Limitations
Please note that as a result of changes to the performance criteria in the latest release of first aid (Jan 2014), some participants may find the physical aspects of their training strenuous. If you have any physical limitations we urge you to discuss these PRIOR to attendance at the course with one of our staff and your trainer to determine your needs and if other arrangements can be made. If your limitation is a temporary condition, we strongly suggest you book into a course once you have fully recovered. If your limitation is permanent and the physical aspect of doing CPR or any first aid scenarios prohibits you from successfully completing the course you may be assessed as being NOT competent, in which case you will be issued with a certificate of attendance or you may attempt the assessment again. In either case, it is your responsibility to inform staff when booking in and your trainer BEFORE commencing the course of any and all limitations so that appropriate action can be taken.
Certificates
Certificates are issued on successful completion of the course, usually within 7 days of completion. In many cases your employer will request a copy of your certificate, especially if they are paying for your attendance. Your consent to this is implicit in the reading and accepting of this information. If you do NOT want your employer to receive a copy of your certificate, please advise the office before attendance. Make sure the spelling of your name is correct as this will appear on your Statement of Attainment or certificate. A reprint of your certificate will incur a fee.

Please note: some courses are conducted at venues which have poker machines. If this conflicts with your religious or ethical beliefs please request a venue which does not have poker machines or other gambling activities.
Access and equity
Students with language and literacy special needs may bring an interpreter with them for the duration of the course. Written assessments may be interpreted for the student, but no help in answering the questions is permitted. The practical component must be completed by the student with no help, except interpretation of the scenario instructions and other practical assignments. Coordinators/trainers/assessors are available to assist with this and other matters that require attention during the course.
Assessment
If you are unhappy with your assessment, discuss the matter with your trainer or assessor who will explain the assessment procedures and criteria. You can then re-do your assessment or make arrangements to sit in on another public course at a later time.
• If you are still not satisfied, call our office to discuss the matter. If required, you can attend another course with a different trainer (at no cost) to re-do the assessment.
