It is recommended that learners hold a minimum of level 1 in literacy or equivalent to undertake this qualification. It may be possible to grant a reasonable adjustment for a learner who has a disability, medical condition or learning need following the FAA Reasonable Adjustment and Special Consideration Policy.https://www.firstaidawards.com/cfs/policies/FAA-Reasonable-adjustments-policy.pdf For example, assistance could be given with reading or writing.
Assessments
Students will be assessed by the Instructor on the practical part and/or a multiple choice assessment paper at the end depending on the course.
Please note:
Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation. For example, a learner will need to get to the floor unassisted and demonstrate effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a manikin at floor level.
If a learner has any concerns they should contact their training provider to discuss before attending the course.
