This learning style is entirely classroom based and requires you to attend in person with a group of other delegates. This benefits those who prefer interactive sessions with the opportunity to ask questions to the instructor.

Pick one of our training venues across the country, and choose a date to come and train with the experts.

Blended learning is a combination of online learning with instructor-led training. For this course, delegates will spend 1 day learning theory via our online portal, and then spend 1 days in a classroom with peers. This option minimises time away from the workplace, while maintaining the same, high-standard of learning.

Part 1 Online:
This part of the course is self-directed and is expected to take a day to complete. You can complete the modules at your own pace and in your own environment, providing you the flexibility you need. The online training must be completed within the 6 weeks prior to your face to face training.

Part 2: Face-to-face 
This will be 1 days of face to face training where you will be in a small group with fellow blended course mates. The day will be led by a specialist trainer who will teach you about the essential lifesaving skills required for your qualification. Throughout the day you will take part in small group activities, practicing essential lifesaving skills and have the chance to ask your trainer any questions. You will also complete a small number of practical and written assessments, this will include assessment on your online training topics. 

For the Online element of your Blended learning course we use a bespoke portal to ensure you receive the best online training experience. For further details on system access requirements and common questions click here
