Description

“Be prepared” should be everyone’s motto. You never know when you’re going to come across an accident. Make sure you know the right thing to do to help the victims in distress.

When you’ve completed the course, you’ll know how to:

  • clean and treat wounds
  • create a splint to support injured bones
  • create a tourniquet to control bleeding
  • treat someone who is in shock
  • perform CPR

Once you have mastered these first aid skills, you’ll be able to keep calm when accidents happen and act positively to ease the situation.

Our course is completely online so you can study when you have the time. You can also keep hold of the course forever, which means you can revise and refresh your memory about various first aid techniques at any time.

In a life or death situation, every second counts. You never know when this First Aid and CPR training will come in handy, so let’s get you prepared today.

How is the CPR & First Aid course assessed?

There is a short multiple choice exam at the end of each module for you to take and you’ll know your score immediately.

By studying CPR & First Aid online with IOA, you do not pay an extra fee for sitting an exam or have to wait for a set date to sit an exam.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
