It’s fine, pretty much impossible not to pass!

Thanks its 6 hours online which I have already completed and passed, practical is this weekend. What usually happens? Will we demonstrate the skills on each other?

I did one last year and it was really useful and quite fun to learn. I also did 6 hours online and then a day in person. We did practise on each other and also dolls for things like cpr and bandages. I was so useful to have the chance to actually practise the skills!

I teach this

Wear comfy clothes - you will be on your hands and knees

You will do
DRABC

CPR on a child and a baby manikin ( I also have my learners working on adult size too)
Choking
Bandages
Learn how to treat anaphylaxis
Put a baby and a child in recovery position

Amongst other bits - I don't have experience of blended learning - my courses are two days face to face.

i regularly had to do them as a childminder . The last one I did was blended .

You practise skills like bandages , putting in recovery position , cpr ..

I would also say I have never known anyone fail . I have done it 3 or 4 times .

The last one I did was as we were coming out of lockdown so we had to put ourselves in the recovery position , no group work .. but generally I have really enjoyed them

Look online at the website of the course provider - if you've not been given a lot of detail as a participant, they presumably describe what the course comprises on the sales pages?
failing that, email and ask?
