PCP Skills Upgrade Training
The following skills training sessions are available to assist licensed practitioners in obtaining these endorsements for their Practice permit.
These modules have been approved by the Alberta College of Paramedics for CME credits and are based on the length of each module.
The delivery of these modules are based on two options.
Option 1:
you can sign up and attend individual sessions and pick the specific module you would like to obtain. These are individually priced and have a set schedule as too when they are available. Each module comes with its own specific certification and credits.
Option 2:
You can attend a full session that includes all the modules and this is delivered over 40 hours. This delivery style is Monday to Friday. You will receive individual certificates for each endorsement.
In addition to the above options, we can book private sessions for groups and also bring the group training to your service.
