This is the entry level qualification to respond to distress in community. Since completing this training there has been no further study pathways offered through the organisation as they are re-structuring. As soon as the organisation offers further training my intention is to continue on to complete the educator/trainer qualification.

CPE 1 is the first 400 hour unit that follows the 40 hour introductory course. There are 2 other units to follow this ; CPE 2, CPE 3 . If I am given volunteering hours I will prioritise continueing onto CPE 2 and 3. So far I have had no opportunity to volunteer.
