Who is this for?

The Basic Life Support (BLS) for Adults & Children qualification is for those that are interested in, or are required to attend annual training in basic life support. While some learners may be interested in undertaking this qualification for personal development, those working in a GP or dentist surgery may attend to meet industry requirements.

This qualification includes the use of a AED and is alligned to the current UK resuscitation council guidelines.

Pre-Requisites:

This qualification is aimed at those over 16 who are able to undertake the responsibilities associated with being an emergency first aider. Those under 16 may undertake the qualification, however they should not be relied upon by employers to be a responsible first aider.

Due to the language of the assessment, it is recommended that learners have sufficient command of the English language in order to understand the assessment and to undertake the recommended assessment methods.

Attendees will be required to demonstrate First Aid procedures as they would in a real work environment. This includes providing CPR to a casualty who is on the floor, therefore be physically capable of doing so.

Diversity, Equality & Inclusivity

Our staff at SPR have undergone training in safeguarding, diversity, equality, and inclusivity, including mental health, disability awareness and LGBTQ+ training.
