A Smarter Way to Complete Your First Aid at Work Course
The traditional classroom course spreads learning over three full days. While effective, much of that time is spent covering theory that can be completed more efficiently online.
With our Blended First Aid at Work Course North East, learners complete structured online training first, allowing the classroom sessions to focus on what really matters — practical skills, real scenarios and building confidence.
- Less time sitting in a classroom
- More time practising real-life situations
- Better engagement and retention
- A more efficient use of your time
- Practical, Hands-On Training
- Nationally Recognised Certification
For many businesses and individuals, this has quickly become the preferred way to complete a First Aid at Work qualification.
How the Blended First Aid at Work Course North East Works
This First Aid at Work Course North East is split into two clear stages:
Stage 1: Online Learning (Must Be Completed First)
Before attending the practical training, learners complete approximately 6 hours of online learning.
This must be completed prior to the face-to-face sessions.
The online element covers key theoretical knowledge, including:
- The role and responsibilities of a first aider
- Assessing an incident and prioritising actions
- Primary and secondary surveys
- Major illnesses such as heart attack, stroke and asthma
- Anaphylaxis and allergic reactions
- Burns, fractures and other injuries
- Poisons and medical conditions
Completing this in advance ensures learners arrive prepared, allowing the practical sessions to be far more effective.
Stage 2: Practical Training (2 Days Face-to-Face)
The classroom element focuses heavily on hands-on training and real-life scenarios.
Learners will practise and be assessed on:
- CPR and use of a defibrillator (AED)
- Managing an unconscious casualty
- Choking response (practical assessment)
- Severe bleeding and trauma management
- Fractures, slings and injury management
- Anaphylaxis (including auto-injector use)
- Full scenario-based training
This approach gives significantly more time to practise skills, ask questions and build confidence.
