Course Structure: Three-Part Delivery Model

Medipro’s modular delivery model is designed to allow learners to train with maximum flexibility and minimum disruption. Designed to empower you with the necessary knowledge and expertise, our course is delivered by a team of experienced clinicians who are actively practicing in the field.

In Part 1, you’ll complete 22 eLearning modules covering a wide range of subjects. From health promotion to surgical emergencies, minor ailments, emergency medical care to wound care. You’ll also gain insights into diving-related illnesses, gas toxicity during diving, shock management, drowning incidents, burns treatment, and drug administration. All learners have 1 year to access this part of the programme which allows you to work at your own pace and at a time to suit you. Click HERE for a module example.

Moving onto Part 2, a 5-day classroom block which you book at a time convenient to you following the completion of Part 1. Here you will participate in interactive and hands-on learning. Enhancing your patient assessment and management skills, cover airway management techniques, learn wound care and suture skills, become proficient in catheterisation procedures, with advanced life support skills (ALS) and trauma scenarios including intravenous and intraosseous administration.

Finally, part 3 which is organised by our own practice placement facilitator in a large local NHS hospital completing 60 hours of placement. Here you will have the opportunity to work with advanced clinicians who will support you through the practice assessment document assisting your practice along the way. This part can follow directly from part 2 or you can return at a convenient time to fit around your work pattern.

If you wish to discuss arranging your own placement (which needs to cover A&E and minor injuries or GP surgery) please call our practice placement facilitator to discuss prior to booking.

Learners will be assessed by:

Part 1 – Multi-choice questions and written submissions

Part 2 – practical and written assessments

Part 3 – Practice placement competency document

Upon successful completion learners will be awarded the following:

I completed my level 3 CERAD in March of this year, this was the third course I have done with Medipro in the last 14 months. In all of the courses I have done with Medipro I have found nothing but genuine, friendly, top class people. 

Phil Brazier

Level 3 CERAD

The teacher was very knowledgeable and made the lessons fun so it was easy to absorb. I am new to the Medical Diving field so it was very exciting learning more and going deeper into medical conditions and illnesses specific to diving. Being a diver, it will be a great asset for me to recognise and be able to administer aid should it be needed.
