If a learner doesn’t pass the Level 3 Anaphylactic Reactions course the first time, they’ll always have the option to resit. Our trainers are committed to helping every learner succeed, ensuring they gain the knowledge and confidence required to become a qualified first aider. In practical terms, that means they’ll receive support and guidance before being offered the chance to re-sit the assessment.
Proof of photo identification is required to attend all regulated courses. Otherwise, there’s no specialist equipment that you need to provide - everything that’s required will be facilitated by our instructors. Learners are advised to wear comfortable clothing suitable for practical exercises and bring a notepad and pen for taking notes.
The Equality Act 2010 requires training centres to make reasonable adjustments where a disabled person would be at a substantial disadvantage in undertaking an assessment. A request for a reasonable adjustment depends on several factors, including the needs of the individual. Reasonable adjustments should be applied before a learner is assessed. Accordingly, we ask that customers identify any reasonable adjustments in time for such adjustments to be made safely.
Learners must be at least 14 years old* to enrol on the Level 3 Anaphylactic Reactions course. An understanding of English is also required to undertake the training and complete the multiple-choice assessments. Learners must demonstrate first aid procedures as part of their assessment, including providing CPR to a casualty on the floor. Where learners are unable to perform practical tasks such as this, they may choose to take the QNUK Level 2 Award in Essential First Aid (RQF) course as an alternative.
*Please note that while learners aged 14-16 are allowed to complete the qualification, they shouldn’t be relied on by employers as the sole emergency first aider in the workplace.
