2024 Training Schedule

CREDENTIALING WORKSHOPS:

The Level 1 and Level 2 workshops form part of the competency requirements for the Wheeled Mobility and Postural Management credentials for EMS assessors.

We are funded by the Whaikaha to provide 35 training days per year. Additional non-subsidised refresher workshops can also be requested – these are open to anyone.

There are cost benefits to hosting workshops. If you are a Whaikaha funded service, consider hosting a Level 1 or Level 2 workshop. Complete a Request to Host a Workshop form so we can respond accordingly. Any general queries regarding workshops can be directed to [email protected].
