Overview

Sports First Aid: Sports First Aid

Sports First Aid is what you do in the first few minutes after a player gets hurt. A twisted ankle. A bang to the head. A deep cut on the knee. Someone has to step in before the ambulance arrives. That someone is usually a coach or a member of club staff.

Our sports first aid course shows you what to do in that moment. You will learn how to check the player. You will learn how to work out what is wrong. Then you will learn how to give the right sports first aid for it. Our Sports First Aid Course covers cuts, sprains, strains, bruises and broken bones. Our Sports First Aid training also covers concussion, dehydration and heat illness. Those three are the easiest ones to miss.

This sports first aid course gives you 8 study PDFs and one quiz. You read at your own speed. You take our sports first aid quiz when you feel ready. The quiz checks that the Sports First Aid training has gone in. Most sports first aid courses at this price do not give you one.

Sports First Aid training suits coaches, fitness staff, teachers, volunteers and players. You need no first aid background to start this sports first aid course. Our sports first aid lessons use short sections and everyday English. Most learners finish the whole sports first aid course in an afternoon.

Description

Sports First Aid: Sports First Aid

Sports First Aid starts with looking, not touching. Our Sports First Aid Course teaches you to check the player first. It teaches you to check the area around them too. You learn what a calm check looks like. You learn what to ask the player, and what the answers tell you.

From there the Sports First Aid training moves on to what matters most. If a player is not breathing properly, that comes before a bleeding knee. Our Sports First Aid course walks you through those choices in order. Guesswork under pressure is not part of it.

Most of this Sports First Aid Course is about the injuries you will actually see. Cuts, grazes, sprains, strains, bruises and pulled muscles come up every season. Our sports first aid lessons show you how to treat each one. They also show you how to tell a minor injury from a serious one. Bigger injuries get their own Sports First Aid section, including broken bones and deep wounds.

Weather causes its own problems. So the Sports First Aid Course covers heat illness, dehydration and cold. There is a sports first aid section on medical emergencies too. Sometimes Sports First Aid is only a holding step until paramedics arrive. The Sports First Aid Course ends with the points worth keeping in your head on match day.

The wording stays simple all the way through. This sports first aid course is text based, so you can read it on a phone.

How The Sports First Aid Quiz Works

Our Sports First Aid Course ends with one quiz. It covers what you have read across the 8 Sports First Aid PDFs. There is no time limit and no exam hall. You answer at home, in your own time, and the Sports First Aid Course is done.

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.
