370 First Aid at Work Requalification Blended - Course Overview
The blended First Aid at Work requalification course allows learners to achieve the full First Aid at Work qualification by completing an eLearning course before attending only 1-day face-to-face training. The eLearning can be done at the learner's own pace and can be completed in more than 1 sitting. The eLearning is designed to take 6 hours; however, this time differs depending on the learner's IT skills and prior knowledge of the subject.
This First Aid at Work Requalification syllabus covers the same topics as those in the initial First Aid at Work course. However, training and assessment are only 12 hours. This course complies with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) regulations 1981 (Appendix 5 Content of a first aid at work (FAW) course). Candidates successfully completing this course will be entitled to act as a first-aider in the workplace.
Course Structure
The blended First Aid at Work requalification course consists of 2 steps and is to be completed in the order detailed below:
- Step 1 - involves completing an interactive eLearning course. The course booker will receive the eLearning access details approximately 14 days before the face-to-face session. The details can be sent sooner if required. However, it's our recommendation the eLearning is completed within a 14-day period before the practical session. The eLearning can be done at the learner's own pace and can be completed in more than 1 sitting as the progress is saved. The eLearning is designed to take 6 hours; however, this time differs depending on the learner's IT skills and prior knowledge of the subject.
- Step 2 - a 1-day face-to-face course where candidates will learn, demonstrate and be assessed on all of the practical sections of the course. This session will provide you with practical skills to support your new theoretical knowledge.
