RESPONDER SKILL EVALUATIONS - ONGOING |
Hey team! It's time for your annual skills evaluations! All responders must successfully complete a skills evaluation every year in order to volunteer with UTEFR (and at very fun partnership events with Odyssey Medical) as Event Medical staff. A skills assessment is intended to ensure that all Active Responders are able to competently perform first aid up to the level of their training. Although we acknowledge that many of you may have just recently completed a course, a skills assessment is still necessary to ensure all active responders meet requirements. Please use the link above to schedule a skills evaluation. We will be opening up many more slots, so don't worry if the available sessions do not work for you!
Please note that if you completed a skills evaluation before May 1, 2023, you need to complete another one for the 2023/24 term.
