Final Exam Success!

 Candidates - 

A big congratulations on your success in your final exam this weekend.  100% pass, many perfect scores, and strong accolades from the examiners.  Well deserved.  I'm confident you'll go on to be great patrollers!

And a big thanks for the patrollers & examiners who helped make the event a success.  And, of course, thanks to our host, Novo Construction, and to our chief judge, Mark Galica, for another great job this year.

Now, give yourself a pat on the back.  And then check CMS...

I've added a few pics to the class photo album here.

Great MCI Simulation Event!

 Candidates -

Congrats on a great performance at our Mass Casualty Incident simulation event!   You all handled a broad variety of injuries and some crazy situations and did it well!   And a big thanks to the volunteers who made it possible.  Great job!

Now on to the written & practical final exams!  I know you'll do well.

Practical Final Exam Venue & Location

 Candidates & Patrollers - 

Our practical final exam will be in Concord.  Address and map below.  (For patrollers - this is not the Concord airport, as in past years).

SouthBay Candidates: Plan on starting at 11:00.  Start time to be confirmed.  As we discussed in class, I'd suggest you show up early, team-up and do some quick assessments as warm-up.  Then 15mins before the exam begins, we'll meet as a team for some final comments.

Patrollers: See the email strings on this & contact Mark Galicia for details on your participation.  Plan on a crisp 8:00 start

Address: 1255 Willow Pass Rd.  Concord, CA  94520
