REC 3 - First Aid

[Monkey Loving Bob]

Hey all,

I'm organising a REC3 first aid course, probably in early March depending on the instructor's availability. What I need to know beforehand is how many people are interested and able (financially) to attend. The course has a flat rate cost of â,¬1800 so it'll broken down amongst whoever attends, the maximum number of people is 12 (i.e. â,¬150 per person).  If you are interested post up here and I'll be going forward on the basis of the interest shown.

Cheers,

Conor.

This is what I have so far, correct me if I'm wrong on this as it stands. I hadn't intended on organising an accelerated course but those of you who are interested but have no prior first aid experience there may be something in the works that'll be suitable for you coming up fairly soon.

I'd be interested. It depends on the dates.... got a very busy Msrch planned

[Kat]

Me too, dates dependant

[Paul]

What prior level of training is needed? Do you need to have done water rescue before?

[kmck]

A rec 3 is a first aid course that is for outdoor pursuits. If it is the accelerated one you don't need anything prior. Having a normal first aid is a good start.

[cormac]

Yep, count me in, thanks.

[kjt]

Dates dependant, count me in!

[Siberian Tiger]

 Yeah conor i will be interrested in that as well, so add me up, hope I can afford it ))))))

[Jenny]

I'd like to do this too but depends on the dates -i can only do the very first weekend in march

thanks

Put me down as a definite (provided it doesn't clash with the ball). I need a refresher course to enable me to continue my instructor duties. Did someone tell me you're interested in a rec4. I was talking to Mick Treacy and he's on the lookout for others to make a course feasible.

Bear in mind that the rec courses are being phased out of the ICU's recommendation list. There is another course run by some group in UCC that's recognised by the medical coucil of Ireland or some buzz like that and it's taking over.

You don't need any particular water training to do any first-aid course.
EVERYBODY SHOULD DO A FIRST AID COURSE.

Paul, you have to do a rec 2 before you do a rec3 unless the course is what's known as an accelerated rec 3 that covers the two courses in one gruelling weekend.

Yes please, sign me up Kylie you big girl. Imagine paying 1800 for a first aid course!!

[Lorcan]

Hey Kill
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Were currently looking at adding more courses onto the approved list rather then removing any.

DUKC are also organising one of these. If both of us can't get enough people we could always mingle

Mingling can be fun! ;-D

Thanks for that info!  I've trained previously in first aid, CPR, etc but nothing geared towards outdoor pursuits... If it's Rec3 accelerated count me in!

[Cathy]

I haven't done rec 2 b4 but yeah, if it's accelerated count me in!!! (dates depending!!)
