I spent Wednesday to Friday at Rob Thomsett’s “Project Management Masterclass” training session. I’d previously done his “Essentials” and “Advanced” courses back in the late 90’s so it was great to get some repeat training and see what was new. I had a really awesome time and totally enjoyed it – it was also great to catch up with Rob again as he is an amazing man.

I’ve Been Safely Trained
As of today I now hold a First Aid level 1 certificate – woo hoo – I know how to do CPR and such. Go me :)
Training was held for Balloon Sunrise pilots & crew out at the Balgownie Estate winery in Yarra Valley. Karen & Robyn were our trainers and it was a lot of fun. Things are certainly easier than when I first got basic training back at school. Apparently they found people were taking too long to sort things out and not getting into the important bit (CPR) soon enough. Then there were also the legal aspects where people were paranoid about getting their asses sued if they tried to help, etc. So, now it’s easier – yay :) It all comes down to a handy mnemonic: Danger Some things haven’t changed, including the recovery position and using the Little Annie practice doll thingos – although now you get to use a funky face thingo that fits on and there’s one per person – gotta watch out for those body fluids, ya know :) All up, a lot of fun and educational – ya can’t beat that! |
