Overview

Appointed Persons in the Workplace video online course with free downloads, CPD Certified and evidenced-based learning statement. Businesses in the UK have to make correct provisions for first aid in the workplace, and the Appointed Person course is ideal for small businesses and extra coverage in medium to large businesses. This course is taught under the HSE First Aid at Work Regulations 1981 guidelines.

All ProTrainings online courses are video online, not PowerPoint-based, so they are more engaging and informative than other online courses. You can start and stop the course when you want and return where you left off. You have access to the course for eight months, even after you have passed, so you can see new videos and material.

The course also includes free student manuals and downloads to support training. The course includes a downloadable completion certificate, evidence-based learning statement, and Certified CPD certificate, all of which are accessible upon completion of the course online. Printed copies are available for a small extra charge. While on the course, you can contact ProTrainings for support and advice.

Why are ProTrainings online courses different?

Unlike other e-learning courses, ProTrainings uses video training rather than reading PowerPoint text, which makes our courses more engaging. You do not have to complete the course in one sitting; you can stop and return whenever you want. You have 8 months to complete the course, and you can even view it after you pass, giving you access to new videos and downloads. Your certificate can be printed immediately upon completion, along with your certified CPD and Evidence-Based learning statement to evidence your qualification.

You will get automatic discounts off all our range of over 350 video online courses you choose to take in the future once you purchase and have access to this course. You will also receive a free training dashboard, downloads and access to the latest course material from ProTrainings.

Under every video, we have added text to support the video, and you also receive manuals and free downloads. You can opt for free weekly refresher videos to keep your skills fresh. You are assessed during the course and at the end, there is a final multiple-choice test. If you get a question wrong, you will be supported to ensure you understand every part. You can re-take the test without charge. This may be an online course, but you can still contact us via phone, chat or email.

These can be arranged nationally at your workplace if you need classroom training or practical evaluations.

No more old-fashioned, cut-rate PowerPoint training — your health and safety are too important to cut corners.

Amber Nesbitt asked:

Will this allow me to become a qualified first aided in a workplace?

Answer:

To be a qualified First Aider in the workplace you would usually need to do Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work (blended or classroom), however this may meet your company's HSE risk assessment. An Appointed Person deputises for the first aider and is in charge of first aid arrangements. This includes looking after the equipment, facilities and calling the emergency services.
