The Awarding Body Statement from RLSS UK and IQK UK

It is important for candidates enrolling on training courses and competency assessments to understand that no PPE or other protective measures can provide 100% protection from infection with, or transmission of, COVID-19. Whilst the awarding organisation (RLSS UK and IQL UK) have provided guidance to training provider to mitigate risk so far as reasonably practicable, there will still be an element of risk involved in attending the training course and assessment.

Our First Aid course provider, Active Luton has adopted the Awarding Body guidance to ensure the safety of all candidates and Trainer / Assessor.

The training course contains practical skills where Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be required an the Trainer / Assessor will give full instruction as to when there is a requirement to wear the required PPE. There are some skills where PPE is not suitable and other measures have been put in place.

All candidates will be supplied with their own manikins, first aid training equipment and PPE for the duration of the course and assessment.
