External First Aid Certificate Verification

External First Aid Validation
Anyone who wishes to use an external first aid course to validate First Response Training must show a fully accredited County First Response Trainer that the course they attended met all the requirements of the 6 hours Scouts First Response syllabus.

This includes knowledge of child related illnesses and the demonstration of child CPR, which are commonly not included on external courses. This is to make sure that all volunteers who are carrying out first aid have the skills to manage incidents relating to children and young people.

Any course that is set by a reputable body, and covers the above criteria, recognition and length requirements outlined above can be considered as a suitable alternative to a First Response certificate.

Examples of reputable bodies include: St John Ambulance, The British Red Cross, British Canoeing, Mountain Training, etc.

Please note: The Scouts does not accept online only qualifications so, for example, If you complete the St. John’s Ambulance online course it cannot be used to validate First Response learning.

Please answer the questions below and provide relevant evidance so we can add your external first aid course that you completed.

The short form will ask you to upload a photo of your current certificate and the sylibus from the course you attended.
