Ive got my first Aid course all weekend :panic:
3yrs ago I paid £10 as it was funded by LA and it ran 9.30am-3pm. The chap was a paramedic who was so laid back he was nearly vertical. We arrived, said our names and spent the day looking at a projector. We practised bandages and he answered questions throughout, We had a couple of breaks for a cup of tea and 20mins/30mins for lunch. Because we had covered everything, he let us go early.
Second day we got a few Resus Annie's out and grouped into 2/3. He said we could do it if we wanted to, we didn't have to. Some chose to have 1 go whilst others got into it properly. We zoomed through it and he let everyone go at 12pm...:rolleyes:
He had our certificates already printed and we took them home.
Looking at the email, this time it looks pretty hardcore stuff. 9.15-4.45pm, which is 7.5hrs a day. £66 this time and there's a list of things I have to bring including i.d
There's even a multiple choice exam and certificates can take 28 days.
All this is fine but I'm just praying that we don't have to do resuscitation individually :blush: I had to do it at college and with 40 people watching, I hated it.
