About this course

To help in the current Coronavirus outbreak and to give families a valuable life skill, our popular Pro Trainings Family First Aid course is free. You only pay a reduced cost of £5 plus VAT if you want to download a PDF certificate. No obligation.

We have found that many families and parents do not know the basics of first aid and do not really know what to do if they come across an accident or serious illness. This course can also be taken as a physically distanced classroom course with The Bridge First Aid for a small fee, please read our pick n mix options to learn more.

This course includes the latest CPR and Coronavirus recommendations.

First aid is not difficult to learn or deliver and whether you choose a class or online course both courses follow through from immediately life-threatening conditions like a cardiac arrest to less urgent problems and minor injuries.

You never know when something could happen to someone in your family, so learning now will prepare you to deal with an emergency situation should it arise.

Our Pro Trainings online platform is super simple to navigate. Watch the video lessons at your own pace, pause and resume when it suits you. Answer the incremental multiple-choice questions throughout the course and when you have completed all the lessons, you will be directed to the final assessment.

To make sure you really learn and retain the information, test questions are randomised. A video review following the final assessment is also customised around the students results. This supports a thorough understanding of each topic

Assessment

Learners are asked pre-test questions after each group of videos to confirm understanding of the major points within those videos.

After the online training section, learners are asked to take a final test. They must score an 80% or better to pass. The learner is able to take the test again if they are not successful on the first attempt, and each test is recorded and viewable through a teacher dashboard. The test is comprised of multiple choice, scenario-based questions.

Certification

Optional certificates and a student manual are available to download and print at the end of the course.

This course is a level 2 Vocational Training qualification. The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.

Additional information

If you are a business, education establishment or community group, why not book a practical session where our own instructor will provide hands on assessment and provide the manikins to complement the training?

There will be a small charge for practical sessions based on the number of students. There is no additional travel expense for organisations in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties.

Classroom practical courses on site are subject to our risk assessment. The Bridge First aid is proud to offer socially distanced first aid where space allows. We have over 36 new adult, child, and infant manikins so training is safe and uninterrupted. These CPR Manikins are brand new and the latest model for 2020 where the air expelled from the lungs is vented out the back of the head.

Each learner will have their own dedicated manikin for the duration of the practical training. These manikins have electronic wireless feedback on compression depth and speed and chest recoil parameters. This is both fun and helpful as students can adjust their own technique in real time.

Our instructors who visit schools are DBS checked, and well accustomed to working with a broad demographic as well as learners with special educational needs.
