Why do I need accredited training courses?
Whether you are employed, running a business or taking training for other reasons, you need to ensure the course is trustworthy and will pass due diligence checks. Taking courses that are accredited gives you peace of mind of the quality, compliance and that your certificate will be accepted. Choosing ISO companies to ensure they are externally verified.
What is CPD and why is having Certified CPD important?
CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development and is required in many business sectors. Even if you do not require a set CPD credit level, having Certifed CPD ensures the quality of training. ProTrainings are the highest gold standard of CPD ensuring that all courses are externally verified and mapped to the highest levels.
What is "SCORM ready" and will courses run on a LMS?
SCORM Ready means that online courses can run on any compatible Learning Management System (LMS). SCORM courses run seamlessly on your existing LMS system without a separate login so staff only login using the existing company system. ProTrainings online courses have an advanced SCORM ready system to give more features than any other company.
I work in a childcare setting, can I complete some of my first aid training online?
Yes, you can with ProTrainings complete half of your course using video online training and then complete day two locally at your workplace or in one of our nationwide centres. By completing the Paediatric First Aid Level 3 course in a blended format, means you only attend one day in the class for Trade body or regulated qualifications.
Do I receive a certificate after completing your online training?
Yes, when you complete the online course you will be able to download and print a compliant completion certificate, evidenced-based learning statement to confirm course content and a certified CPD statement. There is no extra charge for the certificate. You can also buy a printed certificate to be posted to you for a small extra fee.
Do you sell first aid kits and equipment?
Yes, we sell over 1000 products from first aid kits to plasters. We also sell a wide range of medical devices, equipment and everything you need to deal with a first aid emergency and to comply in the workplace with first aid provision. See our first aid equipment online store at www.first-aid-online.co.uk
Do you have 360 videos on your courses?
Yes, we are adding 360 videos to many courses. These videos can be viewed on any device and allow you to see the video around 360 degrees to gain a better insight into the film. We use these for things like first aid and health and safety and will be adding more in the coming weeks.
Are courses all online or can I take a blended or class course locally?
Most of our courses are available as online or classroom-based at a training centre locally. We can also send an instructor to your business to save travel and tailor the course to your business. To save time and money you can take most courses in a blended format with online and class training.
Can I take this course virtually online with a real instructor?
Yes, this course can be taken virtually. The course is taught thought our virtual learning platform and a Zoom link. The course is taught by a real instructor online and you can interact with the instructor, ask questions just like a face to face lesson but without the travelling. Testing is carried out using our interactive online tests and you receive the same certificate at the end as you would with a face to face lesson. Contact us for more information and to see if this is available for you.
Are your courses Endorsed?
Yes, all ProTrainings courses are Endorsed by TQUK in addition to other approvals and endorsements to give you a quality compliant qualification for your courses whatever delivery method you take.

What People are Saying
What people are saying about this course
“As a childminder that works evenings and weekends, it was proving very difficult to find a first aid course. This blended course has proved ideal, as I could do as little or as much as I could when I had time. Also found a local practitioner who is willing to come to my home to do the practical 6 hours and is going out of her way to fit me in the evenings when I've finished working. Overall extremely satisfied. Thank you ”
- Sarah from CA
