The safety of all staff and learners is a priority so we aim to follow regulatory best practice on good hygiene when delivering our courses.

  • We have a training risk assessment which is reviewed regularly.
  • Our venue and courses are fully risk-assessed prior to use and where possible we deliver at familiar sites.
  • Equipment maintenance and cleaning routines are documented and monitored as part of our internal and external quality assurance procedures.
  • All equipment is fully disinfected/sterilised following each course with manikin lungs replaced and faces washed.
  • Learners will be issued with their own equipment for the course duration. Where equipment is shared, thorough cleaning processes are in place and learners will be issued with their own manikin face.
  • The training environment has good ventilation and adequate space for practical activities.
  • PPE and hand sanitiser is available at all times and learners will be encouraged to make use of this during practical activities, just as they would in a real first aid emergency.
