Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Asthma Risk Management?
This course focuses specifically on severe allergic reactions and adrenaline auto-injector use. Many schools and workplaces book both courses together as they’re closely related and often required side by side.
Do we practise with real adrenaline devices?
You’ll practise with trainer (non-medicated) auto-injector devices identical in action to the real thing, so you build genuine muscle memory safely.
How long is the certificate valid?
Renewal is recommended in line with your workplace or school’s policy — talk to us about the right cycle for your setting.
Can we combine this with the asthma course on the same day?
Yes, this is a common combination for schools and workplaces — ask us about scheduling both courses together.
Is onsite delivery available?
Yes, for groups at your school or workplace anywhere in PNG.
