Click the most applicable for information on running ALSG courses
As an existing course centre, you already know you are offering quality, standardised courses to your candidates. But many centres don't realise how easy it would be to offer a larger range of courses using the existing instructor base. ALSG instructors are already eligible or can easily convert to instruct on other ALSG courses. For example:
- APLS instructors are eligible to instruct on PLS courses
- MOET instructors can convert to POET instructors by completing the POET on line learning
It may therefore be easier than you thought to run other ALSG courses with the instructors in your area.
If you are interested in running other ALSG courses, we have provided a copy of the Programme, Regulations, Equipment list and Order Form for each course below for your information.
ALSG and individual course Working Groups support the establishment of new course centres and there are several models available. The ALSG models provide course centres with:
- Comprehensive internationally recognised, standardised, course packages including all teaching and assessment materials, organisational materials and a web-based on-line course management system
- Access to a network of over 9,500 recognised instructors worldwide
- Access to working groups of nationally and internationally recognised clinical and educational experts
- Membership of a global network of over 250 course centres in 37 countries on 5 continents
- Administrative support and advice via the ALSG Global HQ in Manchester
- A flexible approach to differences in approach in different countries
All ALSG courses have a core model and you can read more about how to run one of our courses here. We have provided a copy of the Programme, Regulations, Equipment list and Order Form for each course below for your information.
ALSG and the individual Working Groups are happy to support countries that wish to start a national training programme to deliver any ALSG course and we have two delivery methods to allow us to achieve this. Each of the two methods carry different responsibilities for ALSG and the course centre; these are detailed in this responsibilities document.
The two delivery methods are as follows:
- Demonstration course
For this method, ALSG will arrange and facilitate a course as requested. Countries will not be able to run future courses unaided by ALSG after a Demonstration course. We would only suggest this approach if you are not certain that the provider course is appropriate or if you do not have an on-going training need or if you need a GIC after running your own provider courses for some time.
- Provider course self-sufficiency leading to GIC self-sufficiency
This is the method that we have found to be most successful in establishing courses overseas. It involves a group of experienced instructors from the UK travelling to your centre overseas, to run a provider course for anticipated instructors followed by a GIC course for those same candidates, followed by two provider courses in which they will teach as an instructor candidate.

The aim of CYP APEx is to demonstrate how a structured approach can be used to equip any health professional encountering children and young people in acute distress (crisis) with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be competent, confident and compassionate in providing safe, effective, high-quality care until an appropriate onward care plan is in place.
The course is multiprofessional with an emphasis on team working across physical and mental health professionals and learning with, from and about each other. There are pre course learning materials in the form of a manual and case studies. The in person course is over two days, with some short lectures and workshops but mostly active learning through simulated scenarios using actors presenting in acute distress, facilitated by an experienced multiprofessional faculty.
