Full day course (single session)
To take part in a full day (six hours) course, book a place via Training & Events.

Blended model (three sessions)
The following table is a summary of the ‘blended model’:
| Theory 1 | Required | e-learning | Link to e-learning session (approx 2.5 hours) |
| Theory 2 | Required | Zoom theory (with FR trainer) OR Face to Face Session (with FR Trainer) | Book via Hampshire Scouts (after e-Learning) OR Book via Training & Events |
| Practical | Required | Practical Session | Book onto a 10B drop in via Training & Events |
On completion of First Response theory 1 and 2 – (Module 10A) evidence should be retained for the trainer assessing Module 10B. Once both have been completed, First Response will be validated on the Adult Membership System.
Module 10A – theory 1 (online course)
(delivered via Hampshire Scouts)
Click this link for the e-learning session – complete the enrolment and follow the online instructions for the (approx) 2.5 hours e-learning session. The course can be completed in sections and saved. On completion of all sections, please retain all certificates to ensure these can be logged by the trainer certifying full completion of the First Response Module.
Module 10A – theory 2 (via Zoom)
(delivered by Hampshire Scouts)
Complete an interactive online session with a First Response trainer (via Zoom). Courses can be booked directly with Hampshire Scouts, click here for availability and booking information. Select the “First Response 10A e-learning & zoom” course.
Volunteers must then book onto a 10B drop in validation session.
OR
Module 10A – theory 2 (face-to-face)
(delivered by Biggleswade District Scouts trainers)
Volunteers are invited to attend a face-to-face element covering the content usually delivered during the Hampshire Scouts Zoom session. Volunteers then complete the 10B practical element at the end of this session.
Face-to-face blended theory 2 sessions can be booked via Training & Events.
Module 10B – Practical assessment
(delivered by Biggleswade District Scouts trainers)
Volunteers attend a short face-to-face practical session (approx 15-30 minutes) to validate the practical elements of the training. This will include CPR, recovery position, and the opportunity to discuss with the trainer anything you are unsure about. Module 10A (parts 1 and 2) must be completed prior to attending this training.
Courses can be booked via Training & Events.
On completion, First Response will be fully validated on the Adult Membership System. This will be valid for three years from the completion of the Module 10A course.
External First Aid training & First Response online conversion courses with 10B
Any external first aid course that is set by a reputable body and meets the criteria of the First Response course can be considered a suitable alternative. The full First Response syllabus and course requirements can be found on The Scout Association website. Evidence of completion, for example an attendance certificate, can be submitted to FRtraining@biggleswadedistrictscouts.org.uk for validation.
If the course does not cover an element of the syllabus (for example child CPR or Sepsis/Meningitis) volunteers should make themselves aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment of these conditions. To help meet this requirement Hampshire Scouts have produced three e-learning modules which cover the additional content required for Module 10A & B – First Response.
Conversion from Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day)

Conversion from Child/Paediatric/Schools First Aid course

In addition, where not covered by your external course, you will need to attend a face to face module 10B session to demonstrate child CPR (or adult CPR if you completed a Child/Paediatric course). This can be booked via Training & Events.
