Face-to-face Courses

Our face-to-face clinical skills courses provide certification and prepare nurses and midwives for remote practice

CRANAplus deliv­ers spe­cialised cours­es to sup­port and devel­op remote health and iso­lat­ed health pro­fes­sion­als and man­agers. From mid­wifery upskilling, to emer­gency nurs­ing, to man­age­ment cours­es, our clin­i­cal skills cours­es cov­er all fields of remote area practice. 

Through our nurs­ing cours­es such as our REC course, mater­ni­ty emer­gency care course, emer­gency triage work­shop, ALS cer­tifi­cate course, and BLS train­ing, we pro­vide remote nurse train­ing in prac­tice areas includ­ing basic life sup­port, advanced life sup­port, clin­i­cal emer­gency care, men­tal health train­ing, and Abo­rig­i­nal and Tor­res Strait Islander mater­ni­ty and remote emer­gency care.

COVID-19 Vac­ci­na­tion Require­ments: All par­tic­i­pants attend­ing a face-to-face work­shop will be required to show evi­dence of their COVID-19 vac­ci­na­tion sta­tus upon entry to the course venue. A min­i­mum of two vac­cine dos­es is required. How­ev­er, where juris­dic­tions imple­ment pub­lic health orders for three dos­es this will be applied.

Please note there will be an increase in course fees from 1st July 2022. This will mark the first fee increase since 2018 and is due to the ris­ing costs of freight, trav­el and hos­pi­tal­i­ty dur­ing the pandemic.
