Preparation

The courses offered by Sirius are physically demanding and require a great deal of concentration. It is therefore important that you arrive rested. We also recommend that you refrain from additional activities during meal breaks and on the evenings preceding the course days. Sirius requires the full presence and participation of the participants during the entire training. If, for any reason, you are unable to participate in any of the course segments, please call the head office to discuss options.

Materials Provided

On the first day of the course, each participant receives a comprehensive course manual on first aid in remote areas. Sirius' courses are designed to provide students with an important practical component, consisting of real-life simulations and practical tests. We provide the required specialized teaching materials, including: First aid supplies and equipment, bandages, splints, back boards, etc. First aid kits and materials used during demonstrations and practical sessions. Complete make-up and accessory kits for the simulations. Accident report forms and course materials.

Evaluation

Participants' knowledge and skills are assessed throughout the training through review sessions, tests and exams, and ongoing evaluation of skill acquisition.

Students in advanced training (advanced first aid and first responder) are also subject to a practical exam.

Une bonne manière d'attirer l'attention de vos lecteurs est de raconter une histoire.
Tout ce que vous considérez écrire peut être raconté comme une histoire.

Les belles histoires ont du caractère. Considérez que raconter une belle histoire donne du caractère. Écrire une histoire avec du caractère pour vos clients potentiels va aider a créer une relation. Cela se voit dans les petits détails comme le choix des mots ou des phrases. Écrivez avec votre point de vue, pas avec l'expérience de quelqu'un d'autre.

Les meilleures histoires sont pour tout le monde, même si elles ont été écrites seulement pour une personne. Si vous essayez d'écrire pour une audience large et générale, votre histoire sonnera faux et fade. Personne ne sera intéressé. Ecrivez-la pour une personne. Si elle est authentique pour une personne, elle le sera pour les autres.
