Level 2 Student First Aid Course: Half Day (3 hours)
​

The Government has introduced mandatory basic first aid training in all state-funded secondary schools in England. This training is part of Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education.


Department for Education guidance says that pupils should know:
• Basic treatment for common injuries
• Life-saving skills, including how to administer CPR
• The purpose of defibrillators and when one might be needed


Learning first aid skills such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), will give young people the confidence to know that they can help someone and potentially save a life.

 

The aim is that all pupils in England will have been taught the basic first aid skills by the time they leave secondary school.

 

In countries that already teach CPR in schools, cardiac arrest survival rates are more than double those of the UK

There is no grading of the assessment; learners pass or are referred. Practical assessment Scenarios will be set to enable a learner to demonstrate their knowledge and practical skills.
During the practical assessment the learner will be asked a related oral question by the Trainer/Assessor. The practical assessment is ongoing throughout the course, but the Trainer/Assessor will make learners aware of when they are being assessed. A learner must satisfactorily complete each scenario to successfully pass the practical assessment.
Written assessment: A learner must successfully complete a written multiple choice question assessment paper.
