Course Curriculum

The detailed curriculum outline of our First Aid and CPR Training course is as follows:

Module 1: Basic First Aid Fundamentals

Every emergency begins with knowing how to stay calm and take the right action. In this module, you’ll learn the core principles of first aid, including your responsibilities as a first aider, personal safety and the basic steps to follow when responding to an injured or ill person. It provides the essential knowledge needed before moving on to more advanced topics.

Module 2: Primary Survey Essentials

Responding quickly starts with carrying out an effective primary survey. This module explains how to assess a casualty using recognised first aid principles to identify life-threatening conditions. You’ll learn how to check for danger, responsiveness, airway, breathing and circulation while ensuring the scene remains safe for everyone involved.

Module 3: First Aid – Secondary Survey and Casualty Assessment

Once immediate dangers have been managed, a more detailed assessment is needed. In this module, you’ll discover how to perform a secondary survey by checking for injuries, gathering important medical information and monitoring the casualty’s condition. These skills help you provide more effective care while waiting for emergency services.

Module 4: First Aid – Paediatric and Adult CPR Response Protocol

Knowing how to respond during cardiac emergencies can save lives. This module introduces the correct CPR response protocols for both adults and children, explaining when CPR should be performed and the steps involved. You’ll also learn how to recognise cardiac arrest and understand the importance of acting quickly in emergency situations.

Module 5: Workplace Incident Management and Emergency Response Protocol

Workplace emergencies require a calm and organised response to protect everyone involved. In this module, you’ll learn how to respond to accidents, report incidents correctly and follow workplace emergency procedures. It also covers effective communication and the responsibilities of a first aider during workplace emergencies.

Module 6: Essentials of Paediatric First Aid and Common Illnesses

Children require different first aid approaches due to their age and development. This module focuses on providing first aid for infants and children, including how to recognise common childhood illnesses and respond appropriately. You’ll gain the knowledge needed to support young casualties until professional medical help is available.

Module 7: First Aid for Acute Medical Conditions

Medical emergencies can happen without warning, making prompt action essential. In this module, you’ll learn how to recognise common acute medical conditions such as asthma attacks, diabetic emergencies, allergic reactions and seizures. The lessons explain appropriate first aid responses while waiting for emergency medical services.

Module 8: Paediatric and Adult CPR Response Protocols

Building on earlier learning, this module explores CPR response procedures in greater detail for both adults and children. You’ll strengthen your understanding of emergency response techniques, helping you recognise different scenarios and respond with greater confidence during life-threatening situations.

Module 10: First Aid Training – Things to Keep in Mind

The final module brings together the key lessons from the course and highlights important points every first aider should remember. You’ll review best practices, legal and ethical considerations, personal safety and ways to maintain confidence when responding to emergencies. This module reinforces the knowledge needed to apply first aid skills safely and effectively.

Module 11: CPR and AED Administration Training

Module 12: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

(FAQs)

What is first aid training and why is it important?

First aid training teaches you how to help someone who’s injured or suddenly unwell before professional medical help arrives. It’s important because those first few minutes after an accident often decide the outcome. Knowing what to do, and what not to do, can genuinely save a life.

How long does it take to complete a first aid course?

This online course is entirely self-paced, so it’s really up to you. Most learners get through it in a few hours spread over a couple of days, though you can take longer if you prefer to study in small chunks. Since you get lifetime access, there’s no deadline pressure at all.

Do I need any previous experience to start this course?

No experience is needed at all. The course is designed for complete beginners and builds up your knowledge step by step, starting with the basics before moving into more advanced topics like CPR and medical emergencies.

What's the difference between first aid training and CPR training?

CPR training focuses specifically on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the technique used when someone’s heart stops or they’ve stopped breathing. First aid training is broader and covers CPR alongside things like wound care, burns, fractures, choking, and general emergency response. This course actually covers both.

Can I do CPR training online, or do I need to attend in person?

You can absolutely learn CPR training online through this course. The video demonstrations and step-by-step modules walk you through correct technique clearly enough to learn from home. That said, if your job requires a practical, in-person assessment for certification purposes, it’s worth checking with your employer.

How often should I renew my first aid certificate?

Most UK guidance recommends renewing or refreshing your first aid certificate every three years, since techniques and guidelines are occasionally updated. Because this course gives you lifetime access, you can always log back in and refresh your knowledge whenever you need to.

What topics does the course cover?

It covers everything from basic first aid fundamentals and primary/secondary surveys through to paediatric and adult CPR, workplace incident management, acute medical conditions, and common childhood illnesses. It’s a genuinely complete course, not just a CPR crash course.

Is this course suitable for parents who aren't working in a medical field?

Definitely. In fact, a huge number of learners take this course simply to feel more confident looking after their own children. It covers infant and child CPR, choking, fevers, and other situations parents worry about most.

Will I get a certificate after finishing the course?

Yes. You’ll receive an instant free CPD certificate as soon as you complete the course, and you’ll also have the option to order a QLS-endorsed certificate if you want something more formally recognised, for example, for workplace compliance.
