Online First Aid Courses

Online First Aid Courses & Training Overview

For any workplace of at least 25 to 50 employees, it is necessary to have at least one qualified first aider. Understandably, employees may be concerned about how long it takes to take a first aid course certificate.

But employers are not the only ones worried about looking after people’s health. Families also want to be on the safe side to be able to look after their loved ones. From knowing how to react when a relative faints to knowing the right gesture to save a baby, first aid can be crucial. But where do you find time to attend a first aid course as a busy parent? 

As the pandemic has encouraged many training providers to offer online content, it would seem logical to look for online first aid course material. However, while you can find online first aid information and documentation online, it is important to understand how FAW and EFAW qualifications work. Can an online first aid course make you a qualified first aider?

First aid course requirements as a parent

As a parent, your first aid needs are not the same as a company. You have no legal requirement to meet. Instead, your main focus is to be able to look after your loved ones. Consequently, our online first aid course range for parents and families is not designed to give you a professional certification. 

But it will prove essential in giving you the tools to assess a situation and respond quickly and effectively to health emergencies and scares. The syllabus will teach you how to handle allergic reactions, bleeding, fracture, seizure, burns, and more in babies, children, and adults. You will also learn how to put together a first aid kit. 

Our online first aid courses for families are not designed to replace first aid in-person certifications. But they can teach you how to assist your family in the event of a health problem. 

The role of online first aid courses

At Skills Training Group, we understand that it can be tricky to make time for first aid training. We strongly recommend our online courses to parents who want to be better equipped to manage common childhood illnesses and injuries. These courses are designed to help you understand what you can do as a first-role aider and how to act for the safety of your loved ones. 

We have developed our online course selection as an informative and accessible first aid overview for everyone. Understanding the situation and being able to assess it can prevent a lot of stress and panicked decisions.
