Hi guys
 
I know we've a lot of trainee instructors and I managed to get the south dublin county council calendar for child protection courses. So ill try organise a course if you like.

So does anyone need to do one? Roughly when would you like?

This is also open to people who arent trainees but maybe considering going for level 2 or 3 instructor in the future, or might consider working with kids in any sort of role. It'd be great on a CV.

Most importantly its CHEAP just €15!!! so if your interested post up or give me a shout on 0876612534,

Dave.

Yeah, fair point, not bad on a CV, could come in handy for some sort of potential employment system in the future... I'm in.

I'd have a preference for after the midterm break (ie 21st of March on) and maybe for a Sunday?
(Quite a few midterms before then)

I've done this course before and it's well worth having on your CV even if you don't usually work with kids. As far as I'm aware you do the course once and you don't have to renew the cert again. The Sports Council also offer certs in coaching people with special needs and a club children's officer course which are very cheap and the info is worth knowing.
