βΉοΈ Prior ExperienceUnfortunately, there is no provision to be exempted from the required training β regardless of your past professional or academic experiences (this includes tool specific training completed as part of a unit).We understand the additional burden this places on some of our mentors and other highly skilled volunteers especially, and we are grateful for their patience. {.is-info}
βΉοΈ Completing the Online ModuleOnce enrolled, you can find and complete the module by going back to the Units tab and clicking the link to 'Tools Training (EMS) Online Component' You will need to read each section, view the video, and complete the two quizzes before the system will let you download the certificate. {.is-info}
β οΈ Quota for Workshop BookingsThere are usually eight spots available each session. We require six people booked in for the scheduled session to go ahead. Please be mindful that workshops may not go ahead if there are not enough participants. You will be notified in advance if this is the case. {.is-warning}
β οΈ Be Safe!Make sure you always ask for help if you are uncertain on how to use any of the equipment you now have access to. Always remember that access to tools are a privilege, not a right. Improper use may result in your access to tools or even access to the lab being removed at any time. {.is-warning}
π¨ Reading the SOPsAlways read the Standard Operating Procedures before you start work with any of the equipment in the lab. This is important as the SOP may change at any time. Ensuring you read them means we don't have to retrain everyone anytime something small changes. More details about SOPs can be found here {.is-danger}
