Hi  I had to update my first aid  I was looking at sites that do this for free  online.
ju098 I came across a site that did it free , www.firstaidforfree.com  at first I thought  like some free sites they  just offer a basic first aid course  but this site also offers an Advanced  First Aid course which I really enjoyed  and  the during the course there are questions on what you learn t  and  at the end  a certificate  . You  do not have to do the course/s in one sitting if you cannot
.It is worth looking at this site  coffeex

I don't understand how you can demonstrate your skills in CPR , bandaging and  recovery position etc online Coffee, surely you still need to do a practical exam, it is one thing knowing the procedure CPR  but you need to get down & practice

I thought the same Annie, you need hands on to know you are doing CPR etc correctly, I had to do first aid courses when I was working and that was very hands on.

Hi Annie  online first aid helps you to have the confidence to act in a potentially life-threatening situation cause  you never know when you may need to use first aid skills and take appropriate action at the time of an incident.  It does not replace practical training.which would be good to go to but its not always practical and financially  so finding some knowledge about the subject does help you and that must be better than knowing nothing about first aid? it  helps you not to panic if a situation arose and You can practice on willing subjects and their a videos in my tube to help you .
  online first aid not every bodies taste but its good to know its available if wonted.
Its  ideal for me as it helped me to refresh my first aid coffeex

sounds ideal for you Coffee. Like you say if you ahve the skills but just need to re certificate and refresh yourself it is ideal.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yup, good idea to have practical, but if we don't use it a lot it is good to refresh our skills ...

I found this one interactive one online ... https://life-saver.org.uk/#/JAKE
