COURSE INTRODUCTION

The First Person on Scene Intermediate (FPOSi) is an intensive course designed to provide delegates with the skills necessary to treat casualties in medical emergencies, prior to the intervention of the emergency services. Delegates will be taught how to assess and triage casualties, the stabilisation of accident and trauma victims, how to assist Paramedics and official handover procedures. Adding to the set syllabus, the course will cover such topics as safe methods of extracting casualties from vehicles and accident kinetics. This course is highly practical and delivered by experts, including former Military and Emergency service personnel.

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.
