First aid training is a vital skill that can save lives in emergency situations. However, not all first aid courses are created equal. Regulated first aid qualifications are those that are recognized by government bodies and adhere to strict quality standards.
What is a Regulated First Aid Qualification?
A regulated first aid qualification is one that is listed on the National Qualifications Framework for its respective country and is regulated by a recognized body such as Ofqual, Qualifications Wales, SQA, or CCEA.
It's crucial to distinguish between regulated and unregulated first aid training. Some organizations may claim to offer "nationally regulated" qualifications, but these are often not government-recognized and may not meet the same quality standards.
