Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Updated October 2022

We continuously review government and industry guidance to ensure we offer the best possible COVID secure training. The dedicated Government website for coronavirus can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus.

The government has removed the remaining domestic restrictions in England. There are still steps you can take to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19:

  • Get vaccinated
  • Let fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meet outside
  • Consider wearing a face covering in crowded, enclosed spaces

For a course at your venue:

  • Use the largest room possible to conduct the training and limit the number of people to the minimum required, not surpassing the maximum allowed and If possible, use a space where the doors and windows can be opened to let in the fresh air. 

For a course at your venue and ours:

  • Inform Learners to bring with them their own pen and notepad for taking notes.
  • Inform learners to wear suitable clothing, especially if the windows and doors are open.
  • Inform all learners to sanitise their hands on arrival before training and regularly throughout the day.
  • Send or show Learners the videos below on how COVID-19 spreads and how to wash your hands:

How is Covid-19 Spread, and how do you protect yourself against it? - 90-second video
How to wash your hands - NHS - 44-second video

Our responsibilities:

We are following the latest joint guidance provided to us by the First Aid Quality Partnership (FAQP) and the First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum (FAAOF). Both groups have regular meetings with the Health & Safety executive relating directly to Providing Safe Training.

Give Us Your Feedback

  • I am writing to offer some feedback around the recent training that Nigel recently received courtesy of SMBC Early Years. Nigel has a training background himself and he came back from the course full of compliments for ‘Glenn' from First Response, he said the trainer was supportive, informative and very professional. He delivered the course at an even pace to cater for the participants learning need, he demonstrated patience when members in the group did not fully understand anything, the occasions for which were in themselves few and far between. The course was enjoyable and he certainly benefited from the updates that it included. We will be recommending your services.

  • I attended a first aid course last Saturday at the KEC in Kingshurst, Birmingham. I have worked in the NHS for 14 years and have never received such a fantastically delivered first aid course in all them years. Your tutor "Tom" was professional, encouraging and really supportive throughout the session. The way he delivered the information was really impressive and made everyone on the course feel comfortable enough to ask and answer questions without feeling the embarrassment of being wrong. He also kept the group engaged an interested and eager to have a go at the practical element. I really feel I came home with a really good understanding of areas I haven't had training on before and have a better understanding of the bits I knew. I think this man is credit to your company he is a fantastic tutor, Thank you, One very impressed childminder to be!
