Blended Learning Standard First Aid and CPR Course I Online Theory, In-Class Practical- Equivalent to Intermediate First Aid (Earlier Occupational First Aid Level 2)

The successful completion of the blended learning Standard First Aid course is a three-step process.

1. You Need To Complete The Online Theory

Through computer-based training structured in a self-paced modular format, the blended learning Standard First Aid course allows students to access audio and text instruction as well as instructional videos and quizzes. A passing mark of 80% is the requirement to proceed to each successive module.

Advantages of the computer-based training are as follows:

  • You work at your own pace and schedule
  • The courses are interactive and customizable
  • You have unlimited course access for two years
  • And you can start your course immediately

2. Attend In-class Training

Following the completion of the computer-based theory, students are required to attend the in-class portion of the course. This is delivered by an instructor and the focus is on the practical application of the course content.

Advantages of the in-class training are as follows:

  • The classes are held at convenient locations and times
  • You get to participate in hands-on training
  • You learn from experienced instructors
  • Training time is half the time the traditional course format would take

3. Write The Exam

Upon the successful completion of the in-class training, students write the government-approved Standard First Aid test.
Blended learning, therefore, offers the following advantages:

  • It combines online multimedia instruction with hands-on training
  • It provides full (3-year) certification
  • 24/7 access to online theory from any computer or smartphone with internet access
  • The course accommodates individual learning styles
  • Immediate access to training and certification
