Why choose BLSi?
With 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happening at home, it is crucial that BLS Instructors receive appropriate training to teach lifesaving skills to as many people as possible.
This is why Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) has created the innovative Basic Life Support Instructor course (BLSi) to provide a national standard for the delivery of BLS training. If you are trained in BLS and keen to share your knowledge with others, this course is ideal for you.
By taking this course you can access the latest research and science underpinning resuscitation practice, as well as optimise your skills to teach with confidence, in a way that is inclusive and accessible for all.
Who is BLSi for?
BLSi is aimed at those who are already trained in Basic Life Support (including First Aid Instructors, First Aiders, and Emergency Services workers) who would like to train others in BLS. The course is open to both new and existing BLS trainers.
How does it work?
This is an online course that uses scenario-based video demonstrations that are led by expert Instructors. To ensure an inclusive and meaningful session is provided, there is guidance and resources to assist with planning and best teaching techniques.
The course contains 7 modules, including:
· The science behind BLS
· Planning and delivering your session
· FAQ’s and myth-busting
· Equipment and resources
· Ethical and legal considerations
· Delivering inclusive BLS training
· Neurodiversity and specific learning
What happens next?
Once you have finished the course, you will gain a certificate of completion that lasts for three years and you will be given access to the course materials throughout the three years of your certification. In order to maintain an in-date certificate, RCUK recommends that the learner should retake the course every three years to update and maintain their skills and knowledge.
