Q: What is blended first aid training?
A: Blended first aid training combines online theory with instructor-led, face-to-face practical training. Learners complete the knowledge-based element online before attending their practical session to develop and demonstrate the required first aid skills.

Q: How does blended learning work for first aid courses?
A: Learners complete the online element of their chosen first aid course before attending an instructor-led practical training session. The practical session includes hands-on activities such as CPR, AED use and first aid scenarios, with assessment appropriate to the course being completed.

Q: Do I need to complete the online training before attending the practical session?
A: Yes. The online element must be completed in full before attending the practical training. Learners should allow enough time to complete their online learning before their booked practical date.

Q: What happens if I don't complete the online learning in time?
A: If the online element has not been completed before the practical training date, you may not be able to attend the session and may need to reschedule. Please contact GO! First Aid as soon as possible if you are having difficulty completing your online learning.

Q: How long does the online learning take?
A: The length of the online element depends on the course being completed. Our FAIB-certified first aid courses can include approximately 3, 6 or 12 hours of online learning, while some refresher courses may take around 1 hour. Online learning can usually be completed in multiple sessions before the practical training date.

Q: Do I need to attend the practical training in person?
A: Yes. Blended first aid training includes an instructor-led, face-to-face practical element. The online learning covers part of the course, but practical skills must be developed and assessed during the practical training.

Q: Will I receive a certificate after completing a blended first aid course?
A: Yes. Once you have successfully completed both the online and practical elements and the required assessments, you will receive the certificate for the first aid course you have completed.

Q: Can blended first aid training be delivered for workplace groups?
A: Yes. GO! First Aid provides blended first aid training for workplace groups across Greater Manchester. Learners complete the online element individually before attending practical training with an instructor at your workplace.
