How the course works

The Blended Learning PHECC FAR Refresher/Recertification course is delivered over 12 hours (6 hours online with 6 hours in person training), certified through our affiliation with Universal First Aid Services, a PHECC Approved Training Institute (ATI).

Our PHECC First Aid Response (FAR) Recertification Blended Learning Course is an interactive, self-paced eLearning course: There are 10 modules to complete, and they can only progress from one module to the other by completing each module. On completion of their online modules, they will have to access their certificate of completion. They will also receive an e-mail confirming that they have completed the theory section of their course.

Students have 60 days, or an agreed timeline when booking, to complete all sections of the First Aid Response Recertification blended learning course. Once they have completed the online modules, they will then have an unlocked section to enable them to go back in and revise any module if they wish to do so for 60 days. They will be asked to provide proof of completion of the online theory module when they attend the classroom section. Certification will not be issued for any learner who has not completed both elements of the blended learning program

On the Practical Session date, the learner should arrive with proof of online theory completion. During practical training, you will complete all PHECC competency assessments and MCQ questions leading to the award of your First Aid Response Certificate valid for two years.
