This course is currently the recognised medical qualification required for the HECPO looking to work in the Oil and Gas industry.

The course, ran by our vastly experienced registered Paramedics, is designed to advance the CPOs medical skills towards achieving the First Person On Scene- Intermediate qualification. Taught at our superb scenario building at our 1300-acre training academy complex, all candidates will learn the skills associated with rapid assessment, stabilisation and transfer of casualties suffering from trauma injuries and other medical emergencies.

The final two days are for candidates requiring further, more advanced skills required of the modern day CPO/Team medic.
