Flexible & Engaging blended first aid Training courses
At Paradigm First Aid Training, we understand that organisations need high-quality training that fits around busy schedules. That’s why we offer blended learning options for three of our most popular accredited courses:
-
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
-
First Aid at Work (FAW)
-
Paediatric First Aid (PFA)
Blended learning combines interactive online e-learning with focused, hands-on face-to-face training, giving learners the best of both worlds: flexibility and efficiency, without compromising on quality or assessment standards.
What Is Blended Learning?
Blended learning allows learners to complete part of their course online through an engaging, interactive portal. This e-learning covers the knowledge elements of the qualification through:
-
High-quality video content
-
Interactive activities
-
Scenario-based learning
-
Regular knowledge checks
-
Short quizzes to reinforce understanding
Learners then attend an in-person practical session where they apply their skills, practise techniques, and complete the required assessments with a qualified trainer.
This approach reduces time spent in the classroom while maintaining the same accredited standards. It’s ideal for businesses looking for operational efficiency, and learners who need flexibility without compromising their professional development.
Blended Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
The Emergency First Aid at Work blended option is perfect for workplaces that want a streamlined, flexible training solution.
Course structure:
-
2 hours online learning (knowledge content)
-
4 hours face-to-face practical training
Learners complete their online modules in their own time up to six weeks, at their own pace, before attending the practical session. This ensures the in-person time is focused, efficient, and dedicated entirely to hands-on first aid skills.
Ideal for: small to medium workplaces, low-risk environments, and teams needing fast, compliant certification.
Blended First Aid at Work (FAW) – 3-Day Course
Our full First Aid at Work qualification can now be completed in a blended format, reducing time away from the workplace while maintaining the depth and quality of a 3-day programme.
Course structure:
-
Up to 6 hours e-learning
-
2 days face-to-face (instead of 3)
The online learning covers essential theory, legislation, responsibilities, and the knowledge behind treatment priorities. This leaves the two classroom days free for practical skills such as CPR, recovery position, bandaging, casualty assessment, and scenario-based training.
Ideal for: higher-risk workplaces, larger teams, or businesses wanting to minimise downtime.
Blended Paediatric First Aid (PFA)
Our Paediatric First Aid blended course is fully aligned with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements and is perfect for nurseries, childminders, and school staff.
Course structure:
-
6 hours online learning
-
1 full day face-to-face practical session
The online content prepares learners with all the core knowledge, while the in-person day focuses on the hands-on paediatric skills required for assessment.
Ideal for: nurseries, early years settings, SEN environments, and anyone working with children.
What Learners Say About Blended Training
Feedback from learners completing our blended courses has been consistently positive. They particularly enjoy:
-
Flexibility to complete modules at a time that suits them
-
Interactive video content that is clear, engaging, and easy to understand
-
Knowledge-check quizzes that build confidence before assessments
-
A more focused practical day, knowing they already understand the core theory
This approach doesn’t just reduce time in the classroom — it helps learners feel more prepared and more confident when practising essential first aid skills.
