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

Under every video, we have added text to support the video and you also receive manuals and downloads free. To keep your skills fresh, you can opt for free weekly refresher videos. 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 given support 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 by phone, online chat or email.

If you require classroom training or practical evaluations these can be arranged nationally at your workplace.

Tony asked:

I have recently passed the ASFR course with London Ambulance Service. Would this count towards the Level 4 FPOS classroom part.

Answer:

Unfortunately not, as this course has been newly launched onto the RQF framework and has jumped from a level 2 to a level 4, all interested users must complete the full course to meet the desired assessment criteria.

Dave Morley asked:

Do you actually receive a certificate after doing the on line part of this course or do you have to complete part 2 to get the certificate?

Answer:

If you complete the online Part you will receive an online Certificate but this will not be the full qualification if only part one is completed. To gain your full FPOS contact us about completing the practical part. Completing the online part only meets the online part of the blended FPOS course and is an excellent course in itself.

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Henna Akhtar asked:

Will this contribute S ucas points for for university

Answer:

No, I'm afraid not The online blended course only provides knowledge that they need for the FPOS qualification, on its own it does not gain any credits on the RQF or any other framework. To gain the RQF credits they need to complete all of the qualifications including the practical assessments the evidence portfolio and an exam.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
