VALARIS R249 - First On The Scene Course

The R249 First On The Scene Course (FOTS) will enable you to gain an internationally recognised qualification while working offshore.

The course will take you beyond basic first aid and build skills which you will be able to apply in your professional, personal and family lives if the need ever arises.

Delivered through short PowerPoint lectures (15-30mins), practical hands-on skills stations and scenarios, we will build your confidence and ability to save a life potentially. The initial places will be given priority to those working as part of the medical response team but will be open to anyone who wishes to sign up.

Once you have signed up for the course, you will receive a log book to record your attendance at the nine sessions to complete the course. Once you have attended all nine sessions, you can request your certificate and qualification.

Immediate Care Paramedics are delighted to have been allowed to sponsor your course fee for this qualification, which usually retails at NZ$375. The only cost to you will be NZ$20. 

The nominal course fee will enable us to officially register your qualification with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). Upon completion, we will award your certificate of completion and your record of achievement card. 

The FOTS Course is valid for two years from the date of issue.
