Refresher CourseOne and a half days EMST status is valid for four years and can be maintained by attending a Refresher Course. The EMST Refresher Course was completely revised in 2006 and is now an enjoyable one and a half day course which is predominantly scenario-based, aiming to refresh and further develop previously taught knowledge and skills through simulated models. The Refresher Course has been developed primarily for those who have completed a Provider Course within the last 5 to 6 years, refreshing and building on the knowledge and skills already taught. If it has been longer than 6 years since you have completed your
Provider Course, you may wish to consider completing another Provider
Course instead of a Refresher. To assist you with this decision, please
