First Response Training 

Within Cumbria we are able to benefit by some learning set up by Hampshire Scouts which follows a blended approach.

Headquarters have approved this approach for use as part of the COVID Safe First Aid Training until the end of 2022. 

The approach is made up of the following: 

Module 10A (Emergency Aid Theory) 

You need to complete the First response e-learning and attend a validation session to complete Module 10A: 

    1. Completing E-learning. This will take approximately 2.5 hours, which teaches you all the relevant information. It includes videos, fact sheets and quizzes. PLEASE SELECT THE CUMBRIA E-LEARNING COMPLETION FORM AT THE END OF THE E-LEARNING COURSE. 

    2. Attending and participating in a validation session (virtual or face-to-face), approximately 2.5 hours. This comprises different activities to validate the learning. 

Book Course 10A
Module 10B (Emergency Aid Practical) 

You will need to attend a short practical validation session (e.g. CPR) to complete the First Response.

To attend this course you MUST complete Module 10A first, including the online validation session. 
Equivalent or higher qualifications 

There are a number of external qualifications which cover similar content, which can be compared against the syllabus.

Professional qualifications 

The Scouts recognises that some professions by the nature of the job will have an emergency aid element; for example, Nurses, Midwives, Police Officers, Medical Practitioners, Members of HM Armed Forces, Ambulance Care – Assistants/Paramedics/Technicians, etc. To exempt these professions from undergoing more training, they are required to provide evidence of an up-to-date qualification which should meet the criteria for what is considered our minimum standard (as listed above). With regards to ‘evidence’, this can be a certificate or an official letter confirming the necessary areas have been met. 

Book Course 10B
