Contact us to arrange your two-day combined first aid course.

 

Blended Combined First Aid Course

Our blended learning option combines:

The classroom day focuses on developing and assessing essential first aid skills for infants, children and adults.

The eLearning is an additional, compulsory part of the course. The seven-hour classroom day does not represent the total course duration.

Both the two-day and blended options lead to the same FAIB-approved Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work certification following successful completion of the required learning and assessments.
