ABOUT THIS COURSE

Sports trainers and first aiders have been part of Australian Football since the origins of the game. They are part of the fabric of every club and play a key role in player preparation and safety at all levels. Our Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) course is endorsed by the Australian Football League (AFL) and is designed for junior, suburban and country football clubs, teams and volunteers that may not have a Qualified Level 1 Sports Trainer available to attend each game, or each training and practices session.

This course builds a club or team’s capacity to meet the minimum requirements of the Australian Football League Management of Injuries and Medical Emergencies in Community Australia Football Policy. Our Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) course will provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence required on and off the field to deal with the emergency assessment, planning and management of on-field injuries and response priorities.  

All participants who successfully complete this training, combined with a current first aid certificate, will have the minimum competencies required to fulfil the role of an Emergency Response Coordinator at an Australian Football event.

This includes the minimum competencies in emergency management procedures and responses and the assessment and immediate management of severe injuries and life-threatening medical emergencies required by at least one person in attendance at all games and training or practice sessions. As of season 2013, the AFL mandated that this ERC qualification, together with a current first aid certificate, will be the minimum competency an individual must hold to officiate as a sports trainer.*   

Our course incorporates many realistic classroom simulations to prepare you to deal with on-field first aid injuries with a practical, real-world approach to first aid.

COURSES ARE CONDUCTED MONTHLY IN THE LEAD-UP TO A NEW FOOTBALL SEASON AND ON REQUEST BY ANY CLUB OR TEAM.

CANCELLATION POLICY

We have a general set of terms and conditions, which can be viewed here: ENROLMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

To summarise our cancellation and refund terms and conditions, in short, We are unable to refund monies for students who do not turn up for class. Course fees will not be refunded for cancellations received within eight working days of your course commencement date. The reason for this is that Intelligent Training Solutions has already secured the required trainers, training equipment, venue, course resources and printed materials for your attendance on the course; therefore, your enrolment has been taken into account during this preparation stage so course fees WILL NOT be refunded.

Any student who enrols in a course with less than eight days from the proposed course commencement date will not receive a refund in accordance with Clause 4.3 of our enrolment terms and conditions. PLEASE decide carefully when enrolling in a course with less than eight days between your enrolment and the commencement of your course. Intelligent Training Solutions does not have a cooling-off period for this course. Once your enrolment is processed, all payments made are non-refundable.

NOTE: WITHDRAWING FROM THE COURSE AT THIS STAGE WILL RESULT IN A VACANT POSITION WITHIN THE COURSE AND WILL DEPRIVE INTELLIGENT TRAINING SOLUTIONS AND THE COURSE OF THE REVENUE IT WOULD PROVIDE.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions on this course; please click on any questions below to expand the content. 

WHAT IS A MINIMUM CLASS SIZE REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY ON-SITE AT OUR CLUB?

The minimum class size for any on-site delivery is dependent on the location of your club/team. As a general guide, we ask for a minimum of six-course participants; however, feel free to call us for a quote. 

WHAT IS A MAXIMUM CLASS SIZE INTELLIGENT TRAINING SOLUTIONS WILL DELIVER TO?

We don’t have a maximum class-size, instead, we have a ratio of 1 trainer for every group of students. A group of students consists of between 1 to 16 students. For example, if your club has 17 people in their course, Intelligent Training Solutions would provide two trainers even though the class would be taught together as one large group.

Our public courses are capped at 16 students (one group); however, if you have arranged for a private course for your club/team, then you can have as many people in your course as you like providing that you have the room to sit all your participants. Intelligent Training Solutions will provide additional trainers at no extra cost to you or your club for courses with larger participant numbers.  

CAN INTELLIGENT TRAINING SDOLUTIONS CERTIFY A COPY OF MY FIRST AID CERTIFICATE?

Yes, however, on the day of your course you will need to bring along a clear photocopy of your first aid certificate together with the original copy of your first aid certificate for the trainer to verify.
