Important Information
Please note that delegates must be at least 18 years of age and physically able to carry out the procedures detailed in the course outline and must attend all sessions to be eligible for assessment.
It may be possible to grant a reasonable adjustment for a learner who has a disability, medical condition or learning need: For example, assistance could be given with reading or writing.
Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation: For example, a learner will need to get to the floor unassisted and demonstrate effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a manikin at floor level.
If the course organiser has any concern about an attending learner they should contact MEDISAFE TRAINING to discuss before the learner attends the course.
Delegates should have good English literacy and numeracy skills to understand the course and to complete the assessments.
Please also note that ID will need to be checked at the outset of the course for candidate verification process.
- The training room should be quiet and of appropriate size.
- Staff should be off work and not expected to be on duty.
- Staff attending should remain on the course for the entire duration of the training course.
