St John Ambulance and Wider Key Skills
Teach first aid and help your learners gain qualifications
ASDAN has been working with St John Ambulance since 2008, promoting life-saving skills and personal development skills to encourage more teachers to train their pupils in first aid and gain evidence towards achieving the Wider Key Skill qualification Improving own Learning and Performance (IOLP) and supporting the completion of the Certificate of Personal Effectiveness at Levels 1 and 2. Both qualifications carry GCSE equivalence. Download the flyer for more information.
ASDAN now have trained staff that can advise on how to use St John Ambulance Young First Aider alongside your curriculum. They can also provide bespoke training to equip staff to deliver first-aid training and help learners achieve ASDAN qualifications in the process.
