Renewing First Aid Certificates the Blended Way in Farnborough
Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training, a Windsor-based first aid and fire safety training company, delivers blended first aid courses at premises in Farnborough and across five counties. Certificates from accredited courses last three years from successful completion, and HSE recommends an annual refresher in between.
When is a first aid refresher due?
Three years, counted from successful completion, is the validity on accredited courses. A reminder comes from Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training ahead of the renewal date.
Knowledge slips well before the expiry date. HSE recommends a short annual refresher during the three years, then requalification before the three years are up. A lapsed certificate no longer counts towards your cover.
Are online first aid courses valid?
The theory can be done online, but first aid skills have to be practised and assessed in person. A blended course combines the two and gives the same certificate as the classroom route.
Is a blended course as good as a classroom one?
Blended learning splits a first aid course in two: self-paced online theory first, then a shorter trainer-led practical. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training brings the hands-on session to your workplace.
Same accreditation, same three-year certificate: only the delivery is split. The catch is that people must actually finish the online module first. It suits shift workers and multi-site employers.
What is a blended first aid course?
A course split into online theory, done in your own time, and a shorter face-to-face practical with a trainer. With Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training the practical is delivered on site, and the certificate matches the classroom route.
What happens on an Emergency First Aid at Work day?
At Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training, Emergency First first aid training for schools Ascot Aid at Work is a single day, roughly six hours long, for groups of up to 12. It takes in the primary survey, CPR and AED use, choking, bleeding, shock and the recovery position.
Nobody sits a written paper. The trainer watches each skill being practised and signs it off through the day. Writing up the incident is taught alongside the hands-on skills.
