Non-accredited Awareness Workshops
The short courses on this page are non-accredited. They are comprehensive, informative and interactive awareness workshops which are delivered by a qualified and experienced trainer. They provide an ideal alternative for those participants who do not require a statement of attainment and for those who prefer to attend training sessions where knowledge and skills are not formally assessed. Each workshop can be contextualised (customised) to the specific needs of each participant.
Training is currently conducted on Thursdays only.

about an on-site Work Health & Safety Awareness workshop
Customised Training (topics & times to suit your needs)
Awareness workshops can be customised to the needs of your team members and workplace.
Examples include:
If you are interested in one of the current awareness workshops but prefer it to be embellished and thus have the session duration lengthened, please contact First Aid Tailor Made to discuss your options.
If there is a large number of workers in your business or organisation, a specific, local venue may be recommended to house them all within a single training session.
If you require (or have a suggestion for) a different training session topic/s, please nominate one or more for consideration by First Aid Tailor Made. Some possible suggestions for awareness workshops:
Communicating with Colleagues & Clients; Bullying in the Workplace; Teamwork & Group Dynamics; Motivating for Productivity; Slips, Trips & Falls; Construction Site Safety; Optimising WorkCover's Resources, etc.
If approved, an appropriate and customised draft of a training session's content will be created/provided for you to consider.
This draft can then be modified to suit the individual learning and working needs of those in your business or organisation. A session plan (including delivery methods and a resource list) can also be provided.
Training is currently conducted on Thursdays only.
If you have any questions about these non-accredited awareness workshops, please contact First Aid Tailor Made prior to making your enrolment payment.
