🛟 PROFICIENCIES – IMPORTANT INFO
This season’s proficiency process looks a little different, with a strong focus on CPR-GO, which introduces significant changes to how CPR roles are defined.
👉 Before attending a practical session, you must complete your online skills maintenance. The videos explain the new CPR processes, so this step is essential.
During practical proficiency sessions, the focus will be on scenarios, with each member rotating through roles to practise the updated CPR approach. In addition, proficiencies will cover:
Signals
Radio
Run/Rescue
📲 How to Register:
Log into eTrainu (via the Hub – note this is different to Axcelerate).
Complete your online skills maintenance.
Register for a practical proficiency session (this step is required so we can check your online completion beforehand).
If you need help navigating the system, please reach out to your Patrol Captain or Cynthia.
📅 Proficiency Dates - you need to contact Cynthia asap if the below dates do not work
