Choose from a range of courses which can be completed 100% online through live online classrooms (virtual classroom) or as self-paced eLearning
St John offers the most convenient and safest way to get trained in first aid - whenever and wherever it suits you.
WHY MANY STUDENTS PREFER 100% ONLINE FIRST AID TRAINING COURSES
These courses happen in a live online virtual classroom, which provides the benefit of a live classroom environment with a real trainer, but in the comfort and convenience of your own home or workplace:
100% Online: all training resources (e.g. adult manikin, baby manikin, EpiPen trainer, placebo inhaler, spacer, bandages, first aid kit and bandages) sent to your home for you to keep (if required for the class)
Time-Saving: no need to worry about the commute, traffic or finding parking
Convenient: log in from wherever you are - at home, in the office or anywhere else
Fully Accredited: receive your Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment (ie certificate)
Portable: train at home or in your workplace, with the assistance of one other person of your choosing
PRACTICAL ASSESSMENTS
All your skills assessments will be conducted during the video conference using the resources that will be posted to you.
You must be able to perform CPR on the floor for 2 minutes.
Students will need to arrange for someone to assist them for part of their class, to act as the ‘mock casualty’. They could use a colleague, or a friend or family member who is primary school aged or older. They do not need any first aid knowledge, they just need to be willing to act as a patient – for example, to have their arm bandaged or be rolled into the recovery position.
The mock casualty will only be required for part of the class. See the course descriptions below for further information about when they will be required.

I enjoyed not having to drive to a place where I haven't been before! Doing the course over Zoom was so much easier.

The delivery method was well executed - I was hesitant about doing First Aid & CPR online, particularly the practical component but it worked beautifully. The pack that St John send out has everything you need and is well explained and you are very well supported by the trainer. I really, really enjoyed this training. The technology used was Zoom and I completed the training by my laptop and it worked perfectly - I have no complaints at all.
St John have surpassed my expectations with their training.

Very easy to do and so much safer than leaving home. The package that arrived beforehand was exceptional and provided everything we needed to complete the course.
I was very impressed with the pre-work and online Zoom course session. The instructor ensured all participants were aware of what was required and met the criteria.

I do think it worked really well. I had my doubts before the course how good it could be. To my surprise, it went really well, above my initial expectations. I dare to say that it could not have been any better even if delivered face-to-face. I think what we took from the course was at the same level of quality had it been delivered face to face. Well done!!
Also, the duration of the training was perfect: not too long, not too short. In my opinion, it was better than expected.

I loved that I could do it online, be covid safe, without having to waste time traveling.
This online option is an absolute game changer for someone like me who is immunocompromised but requires up to date certificates for my job.

The course was surprisingly very well run in a virtual setting. I was wondering how it was going to be done but was pleasantly surprised. The provision of the mannequin and all of the resources prior to the course was great. I have actually used them to run through CPR with my two children and will use them again in the future.
