First Response is the minimum level of First Aid training for all leaders and basic permit holders in Scouting.
Within the District we have a First Response course running on the following dates:

To be able to attend, you need to complete the online training via Hampshire Scouts (click here to start it).
The blended learning course consists of the following:
Module 10A – First Response theory
In order to complete this module you need to:
1. Complete the 2.5 hour e-learning module (click here to start it) – you will need to do this before the trainer led session. Please make sure that you record your District as Chester-le-Street at the end.
2. Complete a 2.5 hour trainer led session. This will validate module 10A on the new digital system and your Mandatory ongoing learning
Module 10B – First Response practical.

If you have completed the e-learning module, please send a copy of your certificate to Karen Gibson, who will then send you a link to book onto the trainer led session stated above.
