12. Guidelines for students and employers
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that students are
free from any condition which would affect their capability to
undertake their chosen course, and that they have the aptitude to
cope with an intensive course of study. We welcome students with
disabilities but it remains their employer's responsibility to
ensure that they are appropriately supported in their workplace. St
John Ambulance would welcome in advance, for setup purposes,
notification of any assistance that a student is likely to need
during the running of the course.
If it is felt that the student doesn't meet the learning
outcomes of the course and or assessment process and is
referred, they will be offered a free assessment. Any further
training or coaching over and above that provided on the
course may be charged for.
