Overview

[Updated 2025]

This Ambulance and Emergency Care Assistant course is designed for paramedics or anyone who is interested in helping people by knowing how to respond well to a medical emergency.

In terms of emergency care, you will learn the basic first aid techniques like the Do’s & Don’ts, dressing, bandaging, CPR and how to use AED. You will also learn paediatric first aid, how to deal with people with injuries, illness, breathing problems, fractures and dislocations. As CPR and AED is important we have a separate course that will go in-depth on introducing you to both CPR & AED and how they are done. Moreover, our course on manual handling hazards and injuries will ensure you know all the different types of injuries, common disorders and how to prevent both of them.

We also have included a unique course that focuses on fire, the importance of fire and how to deal with fire. This course will make sure you are more diverse than the other paramedics. Finally, for ambulance emergencies, we have a course that will teach you the basics of ambulance care like the roles, responsibilities and standards that have to be met. You will also learn about ambulance maintenance which will include climate control, oxygen system, onboard suction system, volt system and medical equipment.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
