The depth of knowledge that Matt had, I learned things that I'd never heard before on previous courses. I would definitely recommend, it was delivered by someone with vast clinical experience and was very informative and enjoyable.

All of the knowledge and how to use it plus the confidence to out those skills into practice. Maybe from a marketing point of view a chance to tag social media accounts or have a picture with a certificate so I could share on social media.

Is Community Basic Life Support accredited training?

You can optionally undertake a formal assessment at the end of the course to obtain a certificate accredited by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB). There is no additional cost to this. We teach all of our courses using expert national guidance and they are led by highly experienced healthcare professionals. If you are a health or care professional looking for nationally recognised training, we provide a combined Adult and Paediatric Basic Life Support course.

How long is a Community Basic Life Support certificate valid for?

In line with UK national guidelines, your Community Basic Life Support certification will be valid for 12 months. We recommend booking an annual refresher to keep your practical skills sharp and your compliance up to date.

Do I need any previous medical experience to attend?

No. This our Community Basic Life Support is specifically tailored to community groups, charity organisations and members of the public.

What should I wear for the session?

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing (like trousers and a t-shirt) and flat shoes. Our training involves active clinical simulation and practical skills, such as CPR and recovery positions, so you will need to move around freely and kneel on the floor.
