First aid skills can often mean the difference between life and death in emergency situations and first aid training is essential for first response personnel. St. John Ambulance has adapted its traditional First Aid Training program into a blended learning solution involving an online theory-based component and a condensed classroom-based practical session. This new flexible approach not only reduces scheduling conflicts, but also saves time, reducing classroom time by half.
The delivery of this First Aid blended learning program is coordinated, including module selections and classroom scheduling, between an organization's Training Coordinator and the St. John Ambulance National Office. For more information, please contact:

Part I - Online
The online component of the First Aid Training program consists of 23 modules: five mandatory and eighteen electives. Depending on the electives selected, participants may complete Emergency First Aid level training or Standard First Aid level training. This approach allows organizations to customize their training program to meet specific needs. Once registered, participants will receive access to all modules relevant to their specific training program.

Part II - Classroom
On completion of the online modules, participants are required to attend a reduced classroom (skills assessment) session. Scheduling for this classroom component of the program is arranged between the participating organization's Training Coordinator and the St. John Ambulance National Office. The online component of the program must be successfully completed prior to attending the classroom component.
On successful completion of both the online and classroom components of the program, participants will receive either an Emergency First Aid or Standard First Aid certificate from St. John Ambulance.
Content for the online course has been adapted from traditional St. John Ambulance course materials.
