Our Industry Partnership Offerings
This multi-faceted partnership offers students the chance for clinical placement and employment.
Clinical Placement
With the Event Medical Team, APC students can expect to complete a placement at a combination of low-to-high acuity shifts. Where they were previously heavily motorsport-based, their medical support now expands to non-motorised events such as running, basketball, rugby and more.
Where students wish to conduct their placement with the Event Medical Team, much like our other Industry Partners that you can meet here, students will gain a more streamlined onboarding process, plus the chance for paid placement hours should students fulfil the position requirements of a ‘Level 2 Responder’.
Employment
As outlined above, students can gain employment as students should they hold the required certificates/qualifications, with the chance of promotions once they graduate.
Level A Responder
Qualifications required: Bachelor of Nursing, Paramedicine or similar.
Level B Responder
Level 2 – qualifications required: Advanced First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation and CPR Certificate.
Level 3 – qualifications required: Diploma of Emergency Health Care/Nursing or similar.
*All Level B skillsets must maintain a Level 2 requirements as a base.
The opportunity to ‘earn as you learn’ is a unique and massive advantage of this partnership for APC students to consider. On top of this, Event Medical Team welcomes career progression within the company – furthering why this partnership is perfect for APC’s aspiring paramedics.
