The session runs from 8:30 am to 5 pm, and candidates should arrive no later than 8:15 am.

The association plans to offer similar courses in the near future.

In addition, it shared the following safety tip on the use of  ICE – "In Case of Emergency":

"Put this in your cell phone address book with the telephone number of someone you would want called in the event of an accident. The Emergency Services will look through your phone and call the number should you be unfortunate enough to suffer an accident. This way the people who love you will be advised straight away if something has happened to you. If you have more than one number use ICE 1, ICE 2 etc."

For those with new smart phones and Android phones, there are apps that can be downloaded for this. Modern phones have the ability to have this information displayed on the screen when the phone is locked with a password. This is very useful as the emergency personnel will not be able to access the phone when locked like this.

As an example for the IPhone here is the link for the ICE app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ice/id284936201?mt=8 and for Smart-ICE: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-ice-in-case-of-emergency/id315171830?mt=8 the latter having the option to record a message for the emergency personnel.
