FPOSi COurses (First Person on Scene) Level 3 Course £395.00

Crisilience’s FPOSi courses are delivered over two weekends. In delivering courses like this, our FPOSi courses dates do not interfere with our learners normal working week. It also prevents loss of earnings, which could or would happen if they attended a course during a working week.

First Aid Refresher

This relates to our “theory only” Online First Aid Refresher

Practical elements must be performed face to face with an instructor.

Although a First Aid at Work Refresher is not compulsory, the HSE and all awarding bodies “strongly” recommend that all qualified first aiders undergo an annual 3-hour refresher.

Having done your full course, be it FAW level 3 or EFAW level 3 etc, you may never have to use your skills and you may also not review your training until your certificate expires and you have to re-sit or re-qualify 3 years later. Will you remember it all? If you had to use your training as a first aider, would you be competent?

Why not consider doing our FAW Refresher on-line on our Learner Management System (LMS)?

Currently, it’s free as it is in BETA stage, (We have the first 5 modules up already). Yes, modules, they are bite-sized with a small quiz at the end of each module. You can do a module at a time and return anytime you wish to continue, the quiz is timed and must be done in one sitting, we have allowed an extremely generous 30 minutes for each quiz, which in reality, could be completed in 5 minutes. When all 20 or so modules are complete there will be a grand quiz, which will test you on all your theoretical knowledge.

If you feel you didn’t do as well as you expected on any quiz, you can always try it again. In future, the FAW refresher will only be accessed by Crisilience clients and those we have taught for other training organisations. So jump in now and register on our Education site while you have the chance. If you have already registered, visit our LMS site. Of course, we’d appreciate any and all feedback regarding the modules or the program in its entirety.

Paediatric First Aid 2-day level three course

This Paediatric First Aid Level 3 two day course is for persons who are working with infants and young children or those who are working towards an NVQ in Childcare and Education (teachers, au pairs/nannies and playgroup leaders).

This qualification teaches theoretical and practical aspects in First Aid techniques that are particular to infants aged 0 to 1 year, and children aged from 1 year old to the start of puberty.

Students will become accustomed to the role of the paediatric first aider and be able to assess and respond appropriately to an emergency condition, for example; a child or an infant who is unresponsive, has an airway blockage or is suffering from shock.

As you will see from the course content below, this is an extremely busy course and is as intense as the Level 3 First Aid at Work course.

We at Crisilience feel that this course justifies a 3 day attendance, whereas our Awarding Body states, “It was agreed with the First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum, Skills for Care and Development and the Sector Skills Council for the qualification that, in addition to this guidance the minimum contact hours, excluding breaks, should be a minimum period of 12 contact hours, which normally equates to a two-day programme.”

Although we strongly feel that the course should run over three days, this has not in any way impacted the cost of this course by adding the extra day, which we believe is very beneficial to the learner as the lessons will be delivered at a slower and more relaxed tempo allowing positive information retention and excellent learning outcomes. After all, the welfare and well-being of children is very important.
