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 Ben.Whittle@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.
