Student First Aid Training
Our free video-based first aid course delivers essential life-saving skills to UK secondary school students. Designed to overcome traditional training barriers, the programme combines comprehensive video instruction with interactive assessments. Students learn critical techniques for emergency response while developing digital literacy through our SCORM-compliant platform, which integrates seamlessly with school learning management systems.
Teacher Training Dashboard
The dedicated teacher dashboard provides complete oversight of student training progress. Instructors can create classes, monitor completion rates, access test scores, and generate certificates through an intuitive online interface. This powerful tool streamlines implementation while maintaining compliance with HSE requirements for first aid education in schools.
Practical Skill Evaluation
Schools may add practical skill evaluations to complement online learning. Certified instructors assess students' competency in critical techniques using manikins, ensuring proper mastery of CPR and other vital procedures. This blended approach maintains our free core offering while providing optional certification pathways for enhanced skill validation.
Multi-Language Support
Course materials include student manuals available in five languages: English, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Arabic. This multilingual approach ensures accessibility for diverse student populations while maintaining consistent training standards across different language groups within UK educational institutions.
Continuing Professional Development
All course completions include CPD-certified documentation with evidenced-based learning statements. Students receive verifiable proof of training that meets industry standards, while schools obtain documented evidence of compliance with recommended first aid education guidelines for secondary education establishments.
