About This Course

This course is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge (and a lot more) needed to accompany the Emergency First Aid at Work 6-hour course, specifically tailored to the needs of health professionals and allied professions. It covers the recovery position, choking, asthma, CPR, strokes, and much more.

The course consists of illustrated step-by-step directions, flow charts, diagrams, videos, and self-assessment sections fully compatible with all computers and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and print your certificate on completion. This course should take around 6 hours and is equivalent to 6 hours of verifiable CPD. You will have continuous access to the course for 12 months.

This course does not replace the practical element but allows you to complete the online pre-learning at a time and place to suit you, before booking a practical course if you need a regulated qualification. It is also an excellent first aid training package for professionals wanting to learn at their own pace, and for those with English as a second language to prepare for a practical first aid course.
