Course Delivery Options

Option 1
IEMR Accreditation
1 Day Training Workshop & Assessment
Cost: $220 per person

The one day training workshop option suits students who prefer a trainer-facilitated learning environment and interaction with nurse colleagues. Approaches include discussion, questioning, and critical enquiry activities using immunisation emergency scenarios, demonstration and skills practise relating to CPR and adrenaline administration and concluding with a multiple choice assessment. The intent is to develop further students’ capacities for making sound clinical judgments within critical time frames and working dynamically and collaboratively with the trainer to achieve competency and build confidence.

Option 2
IEMR Accreditation - Online
Online Learning + 2.5 Hour Face-to-Face Assessment
Cost: $220 per person

The online learning program is suited to e-learners. The best part is you choose when and where you study online. A study kit is sent to you upon registration into the online course. The innovative, stimulating and interactive program leads you through the knowledge required to manage immediate adverse immunisation events using structured critical incident, decision-making exercises, and quizzes. A multiple choice assessment completes the online component and it is followed by a short face-to-face assessment.
