Assessment
Previously, students who attended our first aid
courses were required to pass a final practical assessment.
This has been replaced with continuous observation by the trainer
and written assessments.
Candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2).
So whilst we are often able to provide support to people who for
example do not have English as a first language, our ability to do
so is limited by the time available and the number of people who
require assistance, although we may be able to make special
arrangements if requested in advance. Please contact us if you need
any guidance.
Certification
Successful candidates receive a St John Ambulance
certificate, valid for three years.
