Whether you’re registering for the first time or coming back for advanced training, we’ve answered the most common questions about our trauma courses, manuals, and logistics. If you still need help, feel free to contact us.

How do I register and pay for a course?

To register and pay for a course, users must book through the registration page on the ETM website. Online payment by Visa, Mastercard American Express or PayPal is required to register and secure your place on an ETM course. In special circumstances, payment can be received by Bank Direct Deposit, cheque and/or bank cheque. To discuss these options, contact ETM on 03 8672 5945 or via email at admin@etmcourse.com.

How do I register for a course if I am outside of Australia?

For security reasons, the ETM website has Geoblocking installed. If you would ike to register for a course and you're located outisde of Australia, please email us at admin@etmcourse.com and we can assist with your registration.

What will I receive when I register for the course?

Once you have successfully registered for a course, you will receive a tax/invoice and confirmation for payment via email. You will receive an email from admin@etmcourse.com approximately two months prior to to the course. The email will include a link to all course preparation materials. Reminders willbe sent in the weeks leading up to the course.

Can I reserve a place on a course and ask my hospital to pay?

Payment at the time of registration is required to secure your place on a course. Places can not be reserved pending payment.
If you would like to claim course costs (e.g. from your hospital department) we strongly recommend that you pay first and claim the expenses later.

Can I transfer from one course to another?

The ETM Course transfer policy is available in full here.

What happens if I cancel my place on the course?

The ETM Course cancellation policy is available in full here.

Do I need to repeat the course to maintain currency?

Unlike other courses, we do not mandate repetition to maintain “currency.” We see ETM as a steppingstone in your trauma education journey. We have had some doctors choose to repeat the course after 3-4 years and found it useful as the course content evolves over time.

How do I join the ETM faculty?

Potential instructors are nominated by existing ETM Course faculty after attending a course. Nominated candidates are invited to submit a CV for review. If approved, the nominee will complete two courses as an instructor candidate under mentorship. Based on their performance during these courses, they may then be formally invited to join the ETM Course faculty.

I'm breastfeeding, can I feed my baby during the course?

ETM will arrange a private space for breastfeeding mothers and their support persons throughout the course. Please contact our admin team at admin@etmcourse.com prior to the course, and we’ll liaise with venue staff to ensure a private room is made available.

I'm a medical student, can I observe on a course?

Unfortunately, we don't have the capacity to accept observers on courses. We are still inducting several new instructors per course, which means the instructors, directors and co-ordinators are extremely busy and unable to provide enough supervision and time for observers.
