| ciara largey | Jan 6 2025, 7:43pm | Just wondering if IMRA are holding any First Aid courses in the next few months? I was specifically looking for REC 1 or 2. |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 8 2025, 12:09pm | We will look to arrange First Aid training in the Leinster area over the coming couple of months, providing there is enough interest. As before, the expectation will be that IMRA will cover the cost; anyone who gets the training will commit to taking on at least TWO First Aid Officer volunteer roles at IMRA races during the two-year validity of their cert. We'll be asking for that commitment to begin with volunteering for ONE race later in the year; before the training, candidates should volunteer for FA at a race between the training date and the year end. Could anyone looking to take the training on that basis please email me to register your interest? safety at imra dot ie First come first served. Course will have limited (probably max 12) places; we'll need to fill at least 8 to make it worthwhile. Likely to be a one day course, to take place in Dublin/Wicklow area. |
| Olwyn Sheehan | Jan 8 2025, 2:29pm | Hi Alan, I tried to register my interest to do a first aid course via safety@imra.ie but error message returned saying email address not found. So can I register my interest here? olwynsheehan@gmail.com thanks, Olwyn |
| Brendan Lawlor | Jan 8 2025, 4:37pm | Hi Can I be added too.. safety@ email address not working |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 8 2025, 4:39pm | Yes it appears the safety at email address is currently not working. I'll ask our IT gurus to work their dark magic. Will advise here when ready. Please keep an eye on this post if interested. Cleaner if I take the expressions of interest via email than on the forum. Thanks. |
| Eoin Keith | Jan 8 2025, 5:35pm | The Safety email address should be working again now! |
| Kevin Lambe | Jan 8 2025, 5:46pm | Just coming back to this, where is the safety email address, I can't find it |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 8 2025, 6:04pm | Should be working again now. safety at imra dot ie |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 9 2025, 10:47am | The 12 available places are now filled, as well as a few waiting on a reserve list, so no more applications please. Anyone who has applied should have an email back from me, including those on reserve list. Many thanks to all who applied. Really encouraging to see this enthusiasm, so many interested in a short time window. The spirit of volunteering is alive and kicking. Worth noting - anyone with a SUITABLE First Aid qualification can volunteer as First Aid Officer for an IMRA race; it doesn't have to be from an IMRA-provided course. Suitable qualification would be any REC or EFR, EMT, paramedic etc. Should be current (not expired). We look for something with an outdoor relevance; our responses may be on the side of a hill, in the cold, etc. So not FAR (Occupational First Aid). Any questions just ask on here or email the safety at imra dot ie address. |
