Training content and delivery methods

First Response Training is 6 hours of training that provides the skills and knowledge to enable our volunteers to keep Scouts members as safe as possible while they are in our care.

First Response training focuses on three main areas: 

1. Life support
2. Trauma and injury
3. Major illnesses

By the end of the training, participants will have been: 

• Provided with relevant, simple, first aid information.
• Helped to build confidence and skills in coping with emergency and first aid situations.
• Equipped with the knowledge needed to manage first aid emergencies. 

There are three delivery options available: Face-to-face, Online and Blended Model. In all of them participants are required to attend a face-to-face practical validation session.
