What Is Blended Learning in First Aid?

Online learning, hands-on practice and a little less time away from work.

Blended First Aid combines online learning with a practical session led by a trainer. You prepare at your own pace, then practise the skills together.

It reduces time together in the classroom while keeping the full learning and assessment for the qualification. Both parts are required.

How Online and Practical Training Work Together

Complete the online learning for your booking before the practical session, following your course instructions. Allow time to work through the material at your own pace.

  • Online study introduces and develops the course content.
  • The practical session includes demonstrations, your own practice and feedback.
  • Complete the online requirements and practical assessment for certification.

Our Blended Formats

  • Private Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW): two hours online plus four hours in person.
  • Full First Aid at Work (FAW): two days online plus one practical day.
  • Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA): six hours online plus six hours practical.

If you already hold an eligible FAW certificate, a separate shorter requalification course is available.

Example: Blended Training for a Team

A team choosing full FAW can complete its two online days individually, then come together for the practical day. That reduces the number of days everyone needs to be in one classroom at the same time.

Private training uses examples relevant to your workplace. During the practical session, staff practise cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking and other required skills, with guidance and feedback from the trainer.

Choose the Qualification First

Start with EFAW, full FAW or the appropriate Paediatric qualification for your role. Then decide whether its available blended format suits you.

Use the joining instructions to plan access to the online learning and the practical venue. If you need help with the booking or study access, contact us before the session.
