Health and Safety Executives have made strong recommendations that trained first aiders should refresh their knowledge on an annual basis to ensure that in any contingency, they can call upon their training and contribute in a significant way to mitigate the situation.It is thus in the best interest of any organization to add the comprehensive Planet Wise “First-aid” e-learning course to take another step towards completing their duty of care the easy way!

Our First Aid e-learning course is a dynamic collaboration with the makers of First Aid DVD. We have used material corresponding to the DVD to create an interactive, engaging e-learning experience.All the latest techniques and protocols are covered in a clear step-by-step guide, combining video, demonstrations, presentations, voiceovers, text and high quality graphics, created to give the user the knowledge and confidence to act in a first aid situation.This easy to assimilate, structured course is designed to refresh existing knowledge but not “replace” the need to undergo formal training. It is hosted on the Planet Wise Learning Management System (LMS) and as such all existing rules and terms of use apply to it. Kindly read the corresponding LMS and Bespoke LMS pages to learn a lot more. 

Key Benefits of the e-learning First Aid course:

• Refresh existing knowledge
• Increase first aider confidence
• Dynamic presentation
• Guarantee uniformity of training amongst your staff
• Create an audit trail of user documentation.

 

Course Content

 

The course also contains first aid instructions for situations including, but not limited to, the following:

• Unconscious casualty breathing
• Recovery position
• Basic life support (CPR)
• Circulation disorders
• Choking
• Breathing disorders
• Consciousness disorders

Duration:

The course should take around 90 minutes to complete with all eighteen chapters. However, the major advantage of e-learning is that courses can be taken at the user’s own pace in order to maximize learning and knowledge retention. The system allows the users to log in and out and restart, from a saved point, at any time.
