Who should do this course?
This training package is designed for use by all school staff. Asthma can occur at any time in any place – we advise that all staff with a duty of care for students do this course so they can provide Asthma First Aid if faced with an emergency asthma attack. This includes teachers, ancillary staff, volunteers, relievers and school leadership.
The course may be of particular interest for school staff:
- in remote areas where face-to-face training is not accessible
- awaiting a face-to-face session booked in the future
- who missed a face-to-face session at their school
- who want to refresh their Asthma First Aid knowledge
- who have newly enrolled students with asthma
