Basic Life Support Instructor Refresher

Resuscitation guidelines change. Your instructor knowledge needs to keep pace.

The UK Resuscitation Council reviews and updates its guidelines periodically, and those updates have practical implications for how CPR, AED use and paediatric BLS are taught. An instructor delivering content based on superseded guidance is not just out of date. They may be teaching technique that conflicts with current best practice.

This refresher course is for delegates who have previously completed our Basic Life Support Instructor course and want to maintain their instructional competence and keep their BLS knowledge current. It revisits both the subject content and the instructional skills, with particular attention to any changes in UK Resuscitation Council guidelines since the delegate’s previous training.

This course is for those who have already attended our initial BLS Instructor course. If you have not yet completed the initial qualification, please book that course first.

 

What the Refresher Covers

Updated BLS content

  • Review of adult and paediatric CPR technique, in line with current UK Resuscitation Council guidelines
  • AED use and any updates to recommended protocols

Step 1 of 4

Certain corporate entities and national governing bodies require certificates to be formally issued by an Ofqual-regulated Awarding Organisation to meet strict internal compliance policies.

We offer both Chris Garland Training certified options and fully accredited courses. The primary operational difference is the external registration fee; selecting an Ofqual-regulated certificate incurs an additional charge of £12.50 per person.

Please note that several of our highly specialized courses are completely bespoke to Chris Garland Training and are not tied to an external framework. If your selected course falls into this category, this will be clearly outlined within your final quotation.
