Cost includes workshop materials and catering (morning tea and lunch):

Please forward certified documents/certificates of completion to education@qldguild.org.au.
Certificates confirming completion of pre-requisite items must be submitted prior to attendance at the face-to-face workshop. Participants will not be issued with a Statement of Completion for the vaccination course until the above-required documents have been received. Pharmacists cannot administer vaccinations until they receive the Statement of Completion for the course.

This must be requested no later than two weeks prior to the workshop. Participants will be notified that knowledge of CPR and First Aid is required to successfully complete the practical assessment in the workshop.
If an extension is requested and the participant does not complete the workshop satisfactorily, the Guild takes no responsibility for lack of completion. The participant may choose to repeat the workshop at full cost.
