Description

Please note before purchase:

  1. To complete this course, participants need to have received a certificate for our Epilepsy Essentials course within the last 12 months. If we cannot establish that participants have previously completed Epilepsy Essentials within this period, the certificate of completion for Emergency Medications-Midazolam will be withheld.
  2. A sample kit will be sent for the practical assessment component of this course via Australia Post and therefore participants cannot enrol and complete the course on the same day. Your continued enrolment in the course is deemed as your acceptance of that condition. 
  3. The sample kit will be posted to the address provided in the order. Please notify us immediately after placing the order if you need the kit posted to a different address.
