First Aid
It is an SIA requirement that training centres must confirm that each learner is sufficiently qualified in First Aid or Emergency First Aid*.
*QNUK will accept any regulated Emergency First Aid at Work qualification (or higher) until 1st April 2025 to support the first aid prerequisite for this qualification so long as there is evidence the learner has been subject to training and assessment in Catastrophic Bleeding as part of this qualification.
*On and after 1st April 2025 QNUK will only accept the Emergency First Aid at Work (Security) qualification or Pre-hospital qualifications to meet the recommendations of the Manchester Arena inquiry, Volume 2: Emergency Response, recommendations R140 and R141.
If learners already hold a valid First Aid qualification prior to attending the course, this certificate must be valid for at least 12 months from the course start date and verified that it has included the management of Catastrophic bleeding. Centres are required to submit a copy of the learner certificate to support the course evidence.
