CCSDC ECSI Course Sept 12-14, 2007

The Cebu Caregiving Studies and Development Centre

This is another First aid and Pro CPR course for CCSDC caregiving school students. The students and the administration have already felt the advantages of taking the international course on Emergency Courses since the students who have worked abroad are no longer advised to retake the first aid and pro cpr course when they are abroad already.

The point is, the cards are already accepted in most countries. So once the students are asked to submit a first aid and cpr card they no longer take the course again. All they have to do is submit our issued cards.

Once again we have a rescue simulation on the third day were the students will be given an emergency scenario to respond.

The Center for Healthcare Profession(CHP), a caregiving school owned by a good friend of mine has contacted me to handle the first aid trainig and cpr module for thier students.

It is such a great honor to handle the first aid training for this school considering that this is the third caregiving school wherein our services were tap for the program.

My students were actually the night class of the school and I am pressuming that I will be handling another group (morning class) of students for the same school should everything work out fine.

Another course on First aid and Pro CPR is conducted by our training center for Cebu Caregiving Studies and Development Center (CCSDC), Caregiving students.

It has been a monthly International training and we are very pleased that the school administration has decided to make our First aid and Pro CPR course mandatory.

Basically this is an advantage to the students considering that the completion cards that we issue are already accepted internationally. So they do not have the problem of taking the course again once they are asked to present First aid and CPR training certification.

Should the cards expire, all they have to do is present the cards to any ECSI accredited instructor in the country and ask for a renewal.
