My boss has been here 25 years and has never even seen a spider, I'm here for 3 weeks and get bitten by one! Luckily non fatal, was just a window spider but bl00dy painful!<br><br>All those who have PM'd me, I can't use my PM on here for some reason so can you please email me paramedicservices@gmail.com instead.<br><br>I can't believe nobody has emailed me about working here, shocking! Plenty of work available for paramedics and techs. Or is it because there aren't actually any paramedics or techs around despite all the "bigging up" that goes on?<br>]]>

Some have emailed me correspondences from organizations (FAWC, Ian Kershaw &amp; </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">AIFAWTO) </SPAN><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN">about the recent meeting with FAWC. Ian Kershaw has sent full details about the meeting and points that he raised and what the HSE wanted etc. He even made it clear that others hardly raised any issues and meekly agreed with everything the HSE was saying. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN">It would also appear that HSE will no longer meet with any organization which has HSE approval to run course, how does this effect AOFA. It was also communicated to me that HSE have the full intention that all providers will have to go down the QCA route by October 2012. This will give already approved organizations 3 years (from ctober 2009)&nbsp;to change to QCA. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN">The policies, procedure and systems that QCA require will place such a burden on QCA that small to medium providers will not be able to cope with the paper work and cost, they will have to franchise through larger providers or stop trading. One of the large providers I do work for is saying/thinking that its instructors will have to either face a drop in fees to cover the extra costs of QCA and those that franchise through them face higher fees for certificates etc&nbsp;particularly when many small providers can’t cope with QCA rules etc. </P><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN">Most companies will in the future only require the 1 day course. With the reduction to 3 from 4 for the FAW course it will mean even more trainers available owing to less days training required and I can see this driving down trainers’ fees. Not too bad for the like of me (fire service) but what about those trainers who training is their main source of income. I have Health and Safety and Fire Training to fall back on but even that market is becoming swamped by trainers. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><o:p></o:p></SPAN></DIV><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV><P =Ms&#111;normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-: EN">Come on AOFA keep us informed and let us know what happened at the meeting</SPAN></P>]]>
