What does this course teach?
Brought to you by EMT, the company that single handedly changed learning in this sector!
This is part of our Blended Learning Programme where you undertake initial online learning followed by a recap in the classroom, followed by hands on practice and then assessment of your practical skills.
How does it work?
The course comprises 20 modules, each including several videos which are a combination of animation, high definition video and audio. The videos run in sequential order and you will need to complete a test at the end of each module. The overall pass mark for the course is 75% (counted across the modules combined) following which you are then able to book your practical assessment. You have a maximum of two attempts at each test following which the test area for that module closes.

Who is this course for?
People at work can suffer injury or sudden illness. It is important that employers have made arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. Together with the practical assessment, this course covers all of the necessary practical skills needed to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements to become a qualified first aider in the workplace. For the classroom element of your training, we have experienced tutors many of whom have dealt with real incidents as front line paramedics so you will receive that added insight.

Assessment
In each module you will see a series of videos which you need to view in sequence.
Each module comprises a number of sections shown which you should view in sequence. As you go along you will see an assessment appearing at the end of most of the modules. You can spot these as they are labelled with the term Learning Outcome in the title. As you complete the questions you will see an Assessment Criteria appear at the top of the question text. The cross referencing allows us to produce a bespoke learning log which gives specific and traceable evidence of your knowledge competence in first aid. It is not done to anything like this level anywhere else in first aid and we do it for good to set standards of evidence of competence not yet matched in first aid training. Together with the evidence that our assessors will gather on your practical training and assessment event, you will have the most comprehensive evidence log ever produced in this country for first aid all certificated by the world's leading work based learning organisation, Pearson Edexcel.
