Online first aid learning alongside instructor-led CPR practice on a training manikin.

Blended Learning.
Practical Confidence.

Complete the theory online at your own pace, then put your knowledge into practice with an instructor. A flexible way to build essential skills around your life—and your team’s working day.

How blended learning works

Fit the theory around your schedule. Arrive at your practical session ready to apply what you have learned—with an instructor to guide you, answer questions and help you develop your skills.

  1. Choose your course

    Browse the courses below and book your online Part 1. You can start the theory without having your practical Part 2 booked.

  2. Learn at your own pace

    Complete the online theory at times that suit you. For employers, this makes it easier to fit learning around shifts and day-to-day operations.

  3. Put learning into practice

    Attend practical Part 2 with an instructor to develop your hands-on skills and complete the practical assessment required for your chosen course.

Arranging your practical training: You can arrange Part 2 after completing Part 1. Vital Signs Scotland delivers practical Part 2 for selected courses. For other options, use the “Find Practical Course” link when booking your online Part 1. Check your chosen course’s requirements, including any deadline for completing Part 2.
