First Aid Training
In 2008 ACREM launched a Public Education program aimed at encouraging more people in the community to gain a first aid qualification, therefore helping people to save lives. With some first aid courses costing in excess of A$100, ACREM volunteers vowed to offer cheaper training in the hope that more people will be able to afford this training.

Famous quotes containing the words aid and/or training:
“Men, forever tempted to lift the veil of the future—with the aid of computers or horoscopes or the intestines of sacrificial animals—have a worse record to show in these “sciences” than in almost any scientific endeavor.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
