Advanced First Responder Emergency Care Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the ability to assess an emergency scene and ensure safety for the responder, patient, and bystanders.
• Apply advanced first aid techniques to manage life-threatening conditions, including airway obstruction, severe bleeding, shock, and cardiac arrest.
• Evaluate and manage medical emergencies such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, and allergic reactions.
• Implement appropriate treatment for trauma injuries, including fractures, dislocations, burns, and head or spinal injuries.
• Analyze environmental emergencies, such as hypothermia, heatstroke, and poisoning, and provide effective care.
• Demonstrate effective communication and teamwork during emergency response, including handover to advanced medical care.

Target Audience

This course is designed for individuals who are designated as advanced first responders in the workplace or community, including safety officers, security personnel, and employees in high-risk industries. It is also suitable for those seeking to upgrade their first aid qualifications to an advanced level.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment, although prior completion of a basic first aid course is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals form a critical component of this course, allowing learners to apply advanced skills in realistic scenarios. Supervised practice ensures proficiency in airway management, bleeding control, splinting, and patient assessment, culminating in integrated emergency simulations.

Practical Activities

• Airway Management and Ventilation — Learners practice inserting oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, suctioning, and using bag-valve-mask ventilation on manikins. (4h)
• Hemorrhage Control and Shock Management — Learners apply direct pressure, tourniquets, and haemostatic dressings on simulated wounds, and manage shock scenarios. (4h)
• Splinting and Spinal Immobilization — Learners practice splinting long bone fractures and performing spinal immobilization including cervical collar application and log roll. (4h)
• Integrated Emergency Scenarios — Learners respond to simulated multi-casualty incidents and complex emergencies integrating all skills learned. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
