This training session introduces the participants to the different extinguishing methods, classes of
fire, types & uses of extinguishers and safe evacuation techniques. The participants will also learn
how to use a fire blanket and various fire extinguishers. They will also experience a smoke room
and learn dragging techniques and hints on escape.

Topics covered during the session include:

• Fire legislation in Malta
• Types of fire protection
• Flashover & backdrafts
• Transfer of heat
• Fire triangle
• Methods of extinguishing fire
• Use of fire extinguisher & blanket
• Fire classes
• Emergency preparedness
• Trapped inside a room
• Drags: Leg and shoulder
• First Aid: Burns & recovery position

By the end of the session, participants will:

• define information management issues such as data protection and information security;
• gain knowledge and skills to identify and manage personal data;
• describe the functions of the Regulator;
• discuss how this relates to one's role with UM.

The primary aim of Basic CPR & AED training is to administer immediate assistance to individuals facing life-threatening such as cardiac arrests, or heart attacks. In such critical situations, the vital approach to saving a life involves initiating CPR and utilising an AED until advanced medical help can be accessed. The key objectives of this training are as follows: 

1. To equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize life-threatening emergencies.
2. To train participants in providing basic life-saving interventions, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and the use of Bag Valve Masks (BVM).
3. To instil confidence in participants to act promptly and effectively in emergency situations.

The following topics will be covered:

1. The appropriate algorithm to use when encountering a casualty.
2. Understanding the functionality and significance of AEDs.
3. Demonstrating accurate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques.
4. Correct application of AEDs.
5. Providing step-by-step guidance on AED operation.
6. Engaging in practical scenarios involving simulated AED application.
7. Practicing the use of Bag Valve Masks (BVM).
8. Participating in simulated scenarios integrating CPR, AED, and BVM procedures.
9. Emphasizing team coordination and role rotation.

The training methodology heavily relies on hands-on skill stations, interactive simulations, and scenario-based learning. Participants will have ample opportunities for practice and feedback to solidify their understanding and proficiency in CPR/AED techniques.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a CPR/AED certificate valid for a period of three years.

In this training participants learn basic First Aid skills to treat common injuries or illnesses,
including lacerations, burns, puncture wounds, fractures and the different kind of bandaging
required. The course covers essential first steps to take in case of minor and some major injuries,
before professional help arrives. It also provides a basic foundation for pursuing the next step of
becoming a First Aider. A certificate of an ‘Appointed Person’ will be issued for those who
successfully complete the course.

Topics covered in this training course include:

• Maltese First Aid Legislation;
• Accident scene assessment;
• Levels of consciousness;
• Positions: Recovery, fainting, epileptic fit;
• Attacks: Panic, angina, heart;
• Anaphylactic shock & allergic reactions;
• Choking and poisoning;
• Muscular injuries (Ligaments and tendons);
• Burns & scalds;
• Bleeding control;
• Bone injuries;
• Neck and spinal injuries;
• Amputations;
• Resuscitation.

By the end of the session, participants will:

• be able to assess an accident scene and apply the first aid techniques until help arrives;
• be able to treat common injuries like cuts, burns, fractures, and muscle injuries, using
  proper bandaging and bleeding control methods;
• acquire the skills needed to handle life-threatening situations such as choking, heart
  attacks, allergic reactions, and perform resuscitation.

The course will cover the user's enrollment of their mobile phone into the Radio Over Internet
Protocol (ROIP) system. This includes a comprehensive introduction to the software, guiding users
on how to utilize it effectively within the ROIP framework. The course will also provide a foundational overview of radio communication principles, ensuring that participants understand the basic concepts and terminology. By the end of the training, users will be well-prepared to operate the software proficiently and apply basic radio communication skills within the ROIP environment.

By the end of the course, participants will:

• enroll and operate mobile devices proficiently within the ROIP system;
• apply fundamental radio communication principles in the ROIP environment;
• demonstrate operational readiness for mission-critical ROIP communication.
