Blended vs Face-to-Face: Finding the Right Paediatric First Aid Training for Your Team
When choosing a paediatric first aid course, flexibility can be a crucial factor for schools and nurseries managing busy schedules. At NR Medical Training, we recognise the challenges of balancing professional development with day-to-day responsibilities. That’s why we offer both face-to-face and blended learning options for our first aid courses, ensuring that every organisation can find a solution that fits their needs without compromising on quality.
What Are Blended Learning Options for First Aid Courses?
Blended learning combines the convenience of online study with the practical, hands-on experience of in-person training. Participants complete part of the course through an online platform, learning essential theory at their own pace. Once the online modules are finished, they attend a face-to-face session to practise and refine their skills with guidance from experienced trainers.
This approach is particularly beneficial for schools and nurseries as it allows staff to:
Complete theoretical training at a time that suits them.
Reduce the time spent away from work.
Gain the confidence to apply their skills in real-life scenarios during the practical session.
The Benefits of Face-to-Face Training
While blended learning provides flexibility, some organisations prefer fully face-to-face training for their first aid courses. This traditional approach offers:
Immersive Learning: Hands-on practice throughout the course ensures participants are confident in their skills.
Instant Feedback: Trainers provide immediate guidance and support during practical exercises.
Team Building: Group training sessions foster collaboration and a shared understanding of first aid protocols.
At NR Medical Training, we deliver both face-to-face and blended courses that are engaging, practical, and tailored to meet the specific needs of schools and nurseries.
