A NEW ONLINE APPROACH TO YOUR OUTDOOR FIRST AID COURSE!

We have developed our blended first aid course to enable effective use of your time and ensuring everyone’s safety during the Covid crisis by limiting in-person contact. The blended learning approach is delivered by online training which must be completed prior to your assessment day. Please allow at least 8 hours of online learning time. It does not need to be completed in one sitting however! Plus an evening zoom session of engagement. This ensures the learning outcomes from the online unit are met before attending the practical sessions and assessment. The practical unit one full day of scenario sessions and assessment

We also run traditional 2 day Outdoor First Aid course – click here to see more.

Both the 2 Day and the Blended approach courses are aimed for those who may be required to provide first aid in an outdoor environment.

Therefore, attendees are most commonly outdoor activity instructors.
