Emergency First Aid (Blended)
For the duration of the course, you will be expected to wear a mask that securely covers the nose, mouth, and chin.
Traditionally, the Emergency First Aid course is an 8-hour in-class training course. Blended first aid training is a combination of online training with a practical in-class, face-to-face skill session that provides the best of both hands-on and online training, with reduced in-class time. This course includes CPR Level C.
