Life savers trained

It was fairly simple to use and a good mixture of activities.

Denise - November 2018

All of the materials very user friendly. The assessments were appropriately challenging.

Tom - November 2018

The information has given me more confidence to take action in a medical emergency.

Sue - November 2018

A brilliant experience!

What is involved – what is my commitment to become Prepared to Save a Life?

The training is entirely free and takes approximately an hour. Hard to find time all in one go? Don't let that put you off. The training is broken down into five short 10 minute sections, covering: DR ABC; CPR; Bleeding; Choking and Stroke. You can do these bite-size activities at different times if you prefer, returning as often as you like. On completion of all the activities, you will be able to print a certificate of completion – and feel more confident to act if you come across an emergency situation.

What some of our learners have said:

"I feel reassured I would feel able to step in to help in an emergency situation”

"Very easy to use and gives you the confidence to know you can help save a life”

"Concentrates the mind and brings a bit more confidence to a possible situation. I would not be a bystander now”

"I have learned a lot which hopefully could help to save someone in the future”
