What is this?
For members of the First Aid Volunteer Panel, this is a classroom-based training day which will provide you with the skills and knowledge to enable you to act as First Aid Officer for an IMRA race.
It is being held in parallel with training for Laptop Operators and Race Directors.
THIS COURSE IS NOW FULL - see the other courses on Nov 28 and January 23.
Cost
All courses are free
Registering
To register for a training course, you have 2 options.
1. Log into MyIMRA and volunteer as a "Helper" for the training course in the same way you would volunteer to help at a race.
2. Email the First Aid panel owner Jimmy Synnott [synnottj (at) eircom.net] and he will register you.
Course Format
All 3 training courses are designed by mountain-runners specifically for this purpose. There will be an independent certifications for the first aid course.
The course will be 7 hours in duration, plus a break for lunch.
Location
The courses are being held in the Version 1 offices, which are located 25 metres towards the Liffey from where the Luas line crosses Jervis Street. See the Maps tab above also.
Volunteers (Non-Running)
You need to have done 2 non-running volunteer roles in a calendar year to qualify for end of year prize
Volunteers (Running)
Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running. Race directors need a minimum number of people available throughout the race to make the race work so non-running volunteers are preferable. While it can be helpful, volunteering in a volunteer and race capacity does not count towards qualifying for end of year prize
