Training, Assessment and Certification
Our courses are taught by an instructor who has both experience in training and emergency care, enabling them to bring a real-world perspective to the course, as well as being able to answer any questions students may have about their training.
Our training focuses upon Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP), a learning technique where learners practice a skill repeatedly in short cycles, receiving immediate feedback and making instant corrections before repeating the scenario again — all within the same session. The benefits of this learning include quicker skill improvement, confidence gained from being competent, and reducing the likelihood of acquiring bad habits, which is essential in learning lifesaving skills; the technique also encourages learners to engage in teamwork activities during training.
Practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor, and a three-year qualification will be issued to the learner, subject to assessment. For those wishing to complete the full Level 3 qualification, this course must be completed within 6 weeks.
Numbers
A maximum of 12 students is allowed, and they must be a minimum of 14 years of age. A certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment.
A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.
