Someone drops to the floor in front of you. The ambulance is eight minutes away. What you do with those eight minutes matters enormously, and most people freeze, not because they don’t care but because nobody ever showed them what to do. This free taster is a genuine slice of our full Level 1 First Aid course, so you can see how we teach before you spend anything.
🆕 Free, no catch
Two short lessons, two quick games and a practice quiz. A real taste of the paid course.
🇬🇧 Written for the UK
999 and 112, What3Words and current UK resuscitation guidance, exactly as in the full course.
⬆️ Step up any time
Ready for CPR, AEDs, choking, severe bleeding, burns and shock, plus a certificate? The full course has the lot.
What’s in the taster
- What a first aider is actually there to do, and where that job stops
- Keeping yourself safe and clean while you help someone else
- How to take charge of the first minute: checking for danger, checking the casualty, and getting help on its way
- A short practice quiz to check what stuck
Worth saying plainly: this is knowledge-based awareness training. It builds understanding and confidence, and it does not replace a practical, accredited First Aid at Work qualification where one is legally required.
