Advanced First Aid and Advanced Resuscitation

Training delivered via Online distance self-paced learning and face to face training and assessment.

​

When you book a first aid course with us, the date you select is for the face-to-face practical session. Upon booking, you will receive immediate access to our Learning Management System (LMS) to complete the knowledge evidence component. Our courses are delivered in two parts: online knowledge evidence and face-to-face practical evidence.

Knowledge Evidence: This component is completed online via our LMS at your own pace and in your own time. It covers the theoretical aspects of first aid, such as understanding key concepts and terminology. You must complete the knowledge evidence at least 12 hours before your scheduled face-to-face practical session to be eligible to attend.

Practical Evidence: The face-to-face practical session takes place on your booked date and is delivered by our experienced veteran and emergency service instructors. During this hands-on session, you will apply your knowledge through interactive lessons, demonstrations, walk-through talk-throughs, and practical assessments. This ensures you develop the skills needed to perform first aid effectively in real-world scenarios.

Upon successful completion of both the knowledge and practical evidence components, you will receive your first aid qualification. Our delivery method is designed to be flexible, engaging, and compliant with the 2025 Standards for Registered Training Organisations, ensuring a high-quality learning experience.
