WHY NOT HOST A COURSE AT YOUR FACILITY ?
If there are no courses scheduled in your area you may wish to consider hosting your own course (providing you get a minimum of 6 students, your place is FREE !) We will consider any venue but the minimum requirements are as follows:
- Climate controlled lecture room with sufficient power to conduct a laptop driven presentation
- A suitable area in which to work on the cadavers (can be an outside area providing it is under cover)
- Parking for up to 10 cars
If you are interested in hosting a course, you can download a host pack from the Institute’s website:
This details the main ‘Hosts’ responsibilities. I will be happy to assist you with these as it is important so that the course runs as smoothly as possible
