I have done a few courses. However basic and more the fundamentals. Getting them recognized is a whole different story. So best to start from scratch as every service does it its own way.
plenty of courses out there that have nationally endorsed units of competency so what u waiting for
They are however allot of mainstream interstate services train you from scratch. Im concentrating on trying to get into a service. Meet there requirements. Fitness, Physchometric, and other testing they do. The testing process take along time. Plus Im not at a BMI yet that is acceptable for a service. So busy getting into shape.
i think u have got it all wrong kyle. Yes u do need to have some fitness level but bsi is irrelevent. you can only be yourself and if thats not good enough well then maybe you need more life experience and not being rude but i think that could be what u need , perhaps do some travelling

Again, as PFO has just stated whilst he was falling over, get some life experience. It will go a long way to you successfully being able to articulate yourself during the interview stage. Get fit

Kyle: I think you should look at what service you want to join and do it, apply for that service. If SJA knocked you back as a vollie must have been a reason, if you cant or wont go back to ALAS also must be a reason, you need to get some experience not worry about P1 work because its not all that its cracked up to be and you dont wanna be a lights and sirens cowboy, if your only interested in the driving forget it.
The job picks you, you dont pick the job.
Anyone can do a course and pass it and come the time when you get on the road if you cant put 2 and 2 together, well the outcome wont be good.
Like PFO said less talk more do, search online and find some courses and do them. You can do most through RTO Cert III & Cert IV courses are a dime a dozen (Cert III Patient transport and Cert IV Emergency Care) each one should take you 6 months 12 months respectively depending on who you do it with.
I dont know you and its obvious that your keen as mustard but my advice to you go back to ALAS and get some ground work in, work on what you need to get your experience up and try apply later OR even apply as a patient transport officer with SJA.
alas
