First aid has traditionally been taught entirely within the classroom, but people learn in different ways and at different speeds. This approved Blended eLearning Standard/Intermediate First Aid with CPR & AED course has been designed so that you can complete it at your own pace, in your own time. Not only will you learn more effectively but you will also have more fun learning.
This course has two components:
- An online first aid theory component
- A classroom-based first aid practical skills component
The Online Theory Component
Covers all relevant theory you need to complete before taking the practical training session. Each module will be thoroughly explained with minimal technical terminology and include a helpful review section.
The theory may take two to three hours to complete, depending on knowledge base but remember – you do not have to do the theory all in one go (a module a day is probably the fastest you would want to complete to maximize your learning). You can come and go as you please with this theory component so if you are interrupted just log out and log back in when you have more time.
Practical Training Component
In the Practical Training session, an accredited instructor will answer any questions that you have as a result of the theory course and will then demonstrate a number of first aid techniques including: emergency scene management, and treatment for shock, unconsciousness, fainting, adult choking, CPR, AED, severe bleeding and much more.
