How it works
Our hybrid First Responder Courses are designed to be administered by your department’s training officer.
Direct your staff to complete the course fundamentals online, then administer the practical session utilizing our skill sheets. You may then issue a completion certificate, or provide us with the completed skill sheets, and we will
issue the certificate.
