Course Description

Module 10 - First Response blended learning approach

Surrey First Response

During COVID19, you will need to complete a ‘Virtual’ first response course for face to face Scouting.

If your certificate expired on or after 01/09/2019, you can do a refresher by completing this e-learning and you will be emailed a ‘Virtual’ first response certificate. When we get to Green readiness level you will need to attend a practical validation session including Recovery, CPR, choking and bleeding - this is then recorded on Compass.

If your certificate expired before 01/09/2019 you need to complete this e-learning plus a zoom session to get your ‘Virtual’ First Response certificate. When we get to Green readiness level you will need to attend a practical validation session including Recovery, CPR, choking and bleeding - this is then recorded on Compass.

Please state what you require when you register for the course. Any queries: [email protected].
