Level 2 RQF / Level 5 SCQF Student First Aid : 3-hour course
As of the end of September 2020, the Government announced that health education will be compulsory in all state-funded schools in England and this includes basic first aid training.
This 3-hour Student First Aid course has been designed for key stage 3 and key stage 4 students (11+ years) and fulfils the requirements of the Department for Education in respect of first aid training.
Not only would secondary schools meet the statutory requirements for health education, but students would also have the opportunity to attain a nationally regulated qualification, enhance their CV and develop new life skills.
