Please let us know ahead of time if you have any language concerns and we will accommodate you. If you are concerned about your English language skills, we recommend you attend a course that doesn’t have a component of eLearning before the course. Your trainer will be able to provide you with extra time to complete the requirements of the course.

Some of our courses require students to complete cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the floor. Students must perform CPR (including strenuous physical compressions) while kneeling on the ground for 2 minutes. A pillow can be used under your knees to perform these exercises, but they must be performed on the floor. If you can’t perform CPR on the ground you can still attend the course to learn first aid, but we won’t be able to issue you with a Statement of Attainment.
A Statement of Attainment will be issued within 30 calendar days following successful completion of the assessment of the course.
