2 | For qualifications listed here, upload your certification/license directly to Pit Zone in the corresponding Level 2/3 or CPR upload. Uploaded documentation must demonstrate your certification/license is currently active and list expiration/renewal dates. Documentation such as a diploma that does not include this information will be denied. | |
3 | By using your qualification to substitute for NICA first aid requirements, you are confirming that your abilities and experience include regular practice and continuing education in first aid response. | |
4 | Many qualifications listed here are only appropriate as a substitution for first aid training if the individual is practicing in a setting in which first aid skills are used frequently. For example, a physician receives extensive applicable education during their medical training, however, a career in pathology would not provide adequate exposure to stay skilled in trauma response. If you hold an approved qualification but are not actively using first aid skills in your current role, we request you opt to take a refresher course as rider safety is our number one priority. | |
