Learn a lifesaving skill

GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - It is important to empower yourself in today's times, especially in the current economic climate.

Jobs are scarce, but being able to put extra short courses on your CV, may just give you the edge over the other applicants.

Health care courses are bound to count in your favour, as companies, depending on size, are forced to have at least one employee with first aid training on their staff. Medical knowledge is invaluable in all spheres, as it saves lives.
