Tell me more about the online lessons
The day 1 online platform is super simple to navigate. Watch the video lessons at your own pace, pause and resume when it suits you. Answer the multiple-choice questions throughout the course and when you have completed all the lessons, you will be directed to the final assessment.
To make sure you really learn and retain the information, test questions are randomised. A video review following the final assessment is customised to support a thorough understanding of each topic.
What to expect and how to prepare for classroom training
Please complete day 1 online prior to the classroom practical. On arrival, you will be given a debrief. Hand sanitiser, training props, individual manikins, and everything you need for the course is provided. Come with an open mind and burning questions.
The instructors are experienced in creating and facilitating a non-judgemental and entertaining learning environment. Participants are encouraged to take away this attitude into their own lives following the training. All learners are made to feel safe and included, and we often see the group bond as a result.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring some photo ID to day 2, as is required in order to validate this award.
You may wish to bring a notebook for any additional notes. Covid-19 secure refreshments are complementary throughout the training, but please bring your own favourite mug, and your lunch. There is ample fridge space and shops nearby.
The instructors are fully aware of the anxiety that many students may have over coming into a public space. There is a lot to think about which we have already thought about. You are in safe hands.
Your instructor will send you an email a couple of days prior to the classroom training, so that you have their contact details should you be running late, or have additional accessibility requirements.
This course can also be delivered on site at a reduced group fee (subject to our risk assessment)
