What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I've searched on google about professional development and its very broad. I've put the names of the courses available and duration. Im from WA and i'm new to the place. I'm searching only online courses because i dont know what else can be available in the suburb i live.
I've also put the journals we get everyday and that sometimes we have offers on professional training.

Description and Message:
Hi, i'm stuck on this question. Im confused about what to write. Can someone please give me some ideas. Thank you

HI
Maybe add things like first aid training (St john ambulance) anaphylaxis training.
AISWA is a website for independent schools, they have professional development opportunities on them. Not sure if they are available to ppl outside the independent schools sector though.
Try the Department for Communities, Education and Care Regulatory Unit
Website:
www.communities.wa.gov.au
Also contacting the local community health nurse, TAFE's etc.
Hope this helps

Thank you for your help. I'll check the links n can add abt first aid as well. Thk u
