We've put together this checklist for anyone comparing resuscitation training providers and it covers the questions to ask during the recruitment process:
- Experience: What experience and teaching/assessing qualifications do the trainers and assessors providing the trainers have?
- Qualifications: All ours hold nationally recognised teaching and assessing qualifications (CTLLS, Certificate in Education, Diploma in Education, Lead IQA, IQA Assessor). All also have extensive frontline A&E operation experience and have many years’ experience in delivering resuscitation, defibrillation and anaphylaxis training.
- CPD Accreditation: Is your provider accredited with the CPD Certification Service? We are a registered member and all of our courses are independently accredited by The CPD Certificate Service, which will contribute to your teams’ continuing professional development.
- Quality: We have a (TQMS) Total Quality Management System place along with clinically governed by NHS Medical Consultants.
- GDPR Ready: Is your provider data protection compliant? We are registered with the Commissioning Information Office (CIO) registration number Z1874429, and are currently working with the current General Data Protection Regulations as of 2018.
- Free Resources: Does your provider provide additional help and advice to ensure your team is completely up to date with first aid and first aid training protocols and issues? We have a free resources centre that includes a News Letter and an A-Z of first aid signs and symptoms.
Don't get stung by headline prices
If your chosen provider can’t answer these questions competently with evidence of their qualification to do the job, the quality of the training you receive may not be what you’re expecting, or of the best value.
