Apart from units dealing specifically with hyperbaric chamber operation, a range of other units are available which includes but is not limited to: organizational effectiveness, occupational health and safety, infection control, manual handling, medical terminology, management and leadership.
Hyperbaric specific units will be conducted on-site and involve hands-on assessment of hyperbaric chamber operation. All other units will be available in a distance learning format.
