Further guidance on First Aid qualifications
Canoe Wales • May 27, 2020
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has provided further guidance on First Aid Qualifications.
For anyone who is required to renew their First Aid qualification from 16 March 2020 and is unable to access a course, British Canoeing Awarding Body is providing a FREE eLearning course
that will be recognised by all National Associations.
The First Aid Extension eLearning is a 15 minute programme, which requires both your full name and National Association membership number. After completion of the course, your attendance will be communicated to your National Association and your record updated.
This online resource acts as an extension and is not
a replacement for a face to face First Aid programme. The HSE will be allowing extensions up until 30 September 2020
and would expect a renewal course to be attended within this time period.

During the COVID-19 period, specific guidelines have been provided for first aiders, and we recommend that all first aiders read and follow the advice from the Resuscitation Council (UK).
