HLT31120 Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport
The HLT31120 – Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport will qualify you to become a patient transport officer (PTO) and is the ideal first step into a career in healthcare.
Patient transport is a service provided for patients whose condition is non-life threatening and who cannot transport themselves to and from their home to a medical facility. The interactions that a patient has with their patient transport officer can make a huge difference in their medical care experience, putting them at ease and ensuring they feel cared for.
If you have a positive, outgoing personality, enjoy driving and connecting with a range of people from different generations, cultures and backgrounds, this could be an extremely rewarding career.
No experience is necessary to start this patient transport course, you’ll learn all the theory online and build your practical, hand-on skills in a 5-day clinical workshop.
