Hi There



First of all hello to everyone as this is my first post.



At the moment i am a bit confused as to which training center to do the First Aid Instructors course.



I am wanting to be able to offer the following after successful completion



HSE- EFAW 

HSE  FAW

HSE  REFAW

DEFIB



I will also want to be able to use the training centers HSE  registration and as i understand it this will mean a small charge per student i teach .



So i am looking for any advice from instructors or companies that i can train with to do all of the above .



Thank you in advance



Paul B

Hello Paul
Try Aid Training ( http://www.aid-training.co.uk/) . Their instructors course are very good and popular. They will also look after you when you are train with manuals, certifications and the rest.
For a fee of course
Good luck

I would agree with Fred, I completed my training with Aid and now regularly assist with training and assessing for them. I know they have a trainers course the week after next that has space on if you get in touch with them. The after course support that I have had from them has been second to none. I also certify my courses through them and having read the various comments about HSE registration etc have satisfied myself that I will be able to continue in a satisfactory manor in the future.

Good Luck

Simon

Bear in mind that if you to get qualified in delivering those HSE courses and to sign up to use somebody's HSE number, that they will cease to exist at some point between this October and the following one.  Might it be better to find one associated with an Ofqual approved Awarding Organisation?  Do some searching this forum to find out more about the background to this.



Trainers courses can be quite expensive, use your money wisely.

It depends what you want. If you have an impeccable background in trauma care, have a personable delivery style and can deliver training based on a background of experience then get the cheapest course you can that will enable you to deliver FA courses.

If not, and you wish to be taught by a trainer who does have the above then ask for the CV of the trainer who is going to be delivering the course; a company should have no qualms about supplying that CV. 

To many 'train the trainer' courses are simply a basic course followed by a 30 'micro teach' which gives the new instructor little insight into how to actually deliver a course.

For example, I sent 2 guys on a peads instructor course (not that they needed it, it was just some CPD). I rang the provider to ask for the trainers background and was assured this chap was highly qualified with an extensive background in paediatric FA. Turned out this was the first paediatric course he had delivered (at any level!) and was using a borrowed PP presentation he got off a mate the previous day. He delivered most of the course from a seated position and one of my trainers even had to set up his IT for him. Taught some 'iffy' practices and when challenged his stock response was 'I've always done it that way", and told a particularly offensive sexist joke in front of a female delegate. When I formally complained my guys were accused of moaning from day one. I shan't be going there again!

We don't do T the T courses but to those who do, rather than look at them as cash cows do you have sessions on

Delivery style

NLP

Setting up your IT (how many of you use Presenter display in PP?)

Classroom setup

Team games

Icebreakers

Chunter over

Presenter view is a good tool if you dont know what you are talking about !!!

Presenter view is a superb tool for any trainer. You can have aide memoir notes which the instructor can read on their laptop but the delegates can't see, you can skip slides that might be irrelevant without delegates being any the wiser, you can 'hide' slides that might be relevant for some audiences but not others and activate them at the flick of a mouse. You can view on your laptop the next slides that are in sequence, as well as the hidden ones you may wish to activate. You can start/stop video or sound from your laptop without dragging a mouse across the main presentation for all to see.

Or of course you can rely on pure and total memory for 3 Days without reference to any research, read every bullet point on your own presentation to jog your memory about what you've got to talk about and hope you don't forget anything, and knowing you are going through every single slide on your presentation (whether the delegates like it or not) then by all means don't use it. 

To suggest that trainers don't know what they are talking about because they use an extremely effective piece of software is frankly insulting (and beneath you based on previous posts). 

Regards

(Edited now I've calmed down)
