First Aid Instructor Courses
Why Choose First On Scene:
Over the past decade, our team of expert instructors have helped First on Scene establish a reputation as one of the UK’s leading first aid training providers. As a company established and run by experienced paramedics, we feel we are the natural choice for people requiring a First Aid ‘Train the Trainer’ course.
We offer a choice of two first aid instructor courses that are based on the potential first aid instructors previous teaching experience.
First Aid Instructor and Assessor Course (with PTLLS)
Our combined PTLLS and First Aid Instructor / Assessor training course is delivered over 5 days. Successful delegates will be able to teach and assess the full range of HSE Approved First Aid courses* and will achieve:
- Comprehensive first aid knowledge ensuring they are able to effectively deliver first aid training.
- A nationally recognised teaching qualification (PTLLS).
- Practical first aid assessing skills.
Attending this course is the ideal way for you to become a First Aid Instructor, especially with the move towards nationally recognised teaching qualifications in the adult education sector.
Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) is now the minimum requirement for instructors delivering training to adults in colleges or in any situation where a course attracts public funding. A number of recognised awarding bodies now use PTLLS as a minimum instructor standard for delivering their qualifications.
First Aid Instructor and Assessor Course (Fast Track)
Our 3 day First Aid Instructor and Assessor Fast Track Course has been specifically designed for experienced teachers and trainers who want to become a qualified First Aid Instructor and Assessor. The course is ideal for those who already hold a recognised teaching qualification (such as PTLLS, CIEH train the trainer, C&G 7303, CertEd, etc.) and wish to gain skills and knowledge specific to first aid training. Successful delegates will be able to teach and assess the full range of HSE Approved First Aid courses*.
