Emergency Response Course

This brief, concise first aid training course at our Oxford campus gives you the vital knowledge you need to administer first-aid treatment in life-threatening situations. The skills you learn include resuscitation, recovery position and choking. The course lasts just 3 hours and leaves you with the confidence to administer these skills and potentially save someone’s life.

On this training course you cover the following emergency first aid essentials:

- arriving at the scene
- assessment of casualty
- top-to-toe survey
- recovery position
- resuscitation
- hygiene control

Teaching/learning methods:
We use interactive and varied teaching methods to give you the experience you need to feel confident in dealing with first aid incidents. The delivery includes practical scenarios, videos and group work.

Assessment methods:
You will be assessed throughout the course on your ability to deal with the different types of incident we go through.

You gain a certificate in Emergency Response, which confirms your emergency first aid knowledge and the skills you have learned on the day.

To do this course you need:

- a reasonable level of fitness
- to be at least 14 years old

No prior qualifications are required. Courses are restricted to 12 students. Students must be a minimum of 14 years of age.

On the day itself, all you need is a pen and a notepad.
