Basic Life Support Instructor Course | Face-to-Face
The ability to deliver basic life support training in-house is incredibly valuable. Every workplace, care home, and school requires confident lifesavers. However, relying solely on external providers for renewals can become expensive over time. Therefore, having an internal trainer saves significant resources.
This intensive two-day instructor course qualifies you to teach independently. Specifically, you will cover adult and paediatric resuscitation techniques thoroughly. The curriculum aligns fully with current UK Resuscitation Council guidelines. As a result, you will gain the skills to certify others safely.
What You Will Learn
Our comprehensive syllabus balances clinical subject knowledge with practical teaching frameworks. For instance, the course modules focus on these main areas:
Basic Life Support Subject Knowledge
- Adult CPR: Master correct compression depths, rates, rescue breaths, and common errors.
- Paediatric Care: Understand how child and infant techniques differ from adult protocols.
- AED Operation: Learn how defibrillators work to remove the fear of using them.
- Emergency Responses: Practice the recovery position and choking protocols for all ages.
- Chain of Survival: Focus on early recognition, rapid chest compressions, and calling for help.
Professional Instructor Skills
- Adult Learning: Explore how adults learn practical skills and retain vital information.
- Session Planning: Learn how to structure a live training session from start to finish.
- Group Management: Manage varying group sizes, candidate ability levels, and learner nerves.
- Assessments and Records: Deliver constructive feedback and conduct valid practical competency assessments.
- Training Logs: Issue formal training records and maintain an accurate internal compliance log.
Testing and Prerequisites
We verify your coaching competency through hands-on practical checks throughout the sessions. No formal teaching qualifications are required before attending this course. However, candidates must hold a current basic life support certificate. Alternatively, equivalent clinical experience is acceptable.
