Diploma of Anaesthetic Technology courses & training in Perth Australia

National ID: HLT57915 | State ID: AWM7

This qualification will equip you to work alongside an anaesthetist undertaking the work tasks required of an anaesthetic technician. This includes preparing patients for anaesthesia and then monitoring them during and after surgery.

You are likely to be exposed to a wide range of surgeries with differing needs as well as to unexpected occurrences and allergic reactions requiring you to respond quickly. You'll be equipped to assist in every step of anaesthetic procedures including:

Ordering and maintaining essential supplies
Setting up workstations and associated equipment
Preparing patients for anaesthesia
Monitoring patients during and after anaesthesia
Being prepared for unexpected events and allergic reactions where you will need to think and respond and act quickly

To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills, be able to work closely with other members of the team, take direction and show initiative and problem solving skills.

Please note that prior to enrolment you will need to undertake a pre-entry assessment, to ensure you have an appropriate numeracy and literacy background.

The Diploma course is a very practical, hands-on course, delivered in a face to face classroom format as well as in the simulated anaesthetic technology laboratory. The course is delivered over 2 years and includes a full time clinical placement in a hospital or clinic, organised by North Metropolitan TAFE.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

North Metropolitan TAFE has recently undertaken extensive industry consultation with hospitals in the metropolitan area to ensure our training was meeting the needs of the industry. Anaesthetic technicians play a critical role in supporting the anaesthetist and the role requires a wide range of complex skills and extensive knowledge to perform safely and effectively in the workplace. Following this consultation, the duration of the qualification was extended to 2 years.

If you're considering a career change and ... a TAFE course you should definitely do everything in your power to do it. Caitlin Noble

Local full time students

Course fees are made up of two components, tuition fees and resource fees.

Tuition fees are determined by multiplying the course fee rate by the nominal hours, which is the number of hours in which an average student could be expected to complete each unit. They are not the hours of training or instruction.

Resource fees are charges for material that are essential to a course or unit, and are purchased by NMT to be used by students during the course.

Fees may vary depending on the units you are enrolled in so an approximate amount has been shown. You will be given the exact amount of your fees at enrolment. Part time student fees will vary depending on the number of units you are enrolled in.

Please note, you may also need to buy textbooks or equipment for your course.
