If you are looking to become a First Aid trainer for your workplace, you might still find this an interesting read! In our next part we will cover everything you need to know being a first aid trainer in your workplace.
You might be looking to start your own business as a first aid instructor, or add first aid training onto the services you already provide in your training company.
It’s a super exciting time. Sorting out your branding, getting your first client, setting up your home office!
Chances are, you love speaking to people. Naturally you’ll want to spend your time training, and talking to your customers. What you might not like so much is endless hours of research, making sure you are compliant, data entry and printing out paperwork.
Don’t worry – we’ve got this!
When you join the SkillBase First Aid Instructor Network, that’s all taken care of. Plus we can help you market your course, even take bookings for you and advertise them.
And – did we mention that joining is free?!
There are many benefits of joining the SkillBase First Aid Instructor Network. Our aim is to keep things simple, and reduce trainer administration time.
This means that you will maximise practical time. You are able to focus on delivering fun, interactive and lively first aid courses. Helping your delegates become confident in saving lives, all the time knowing that the courses you are delivering are compliant.
Here are the top 8 ways we can save you time, so you can concentrate on doing what you love:
1 – Cut the Research
Our Training Network Manager & Team keep up to date with all current first aid protocols. Whenever something changes it is quickly rolled out. They are experts at navigating through all the compliance aspects of being a first aid trainer, so can make sure that your training is always compliant too!
2 – Provide you with tried and tested lesson plans
We provide you with a set of lesson plans, for a range of first aid courses. You can be safe in the knowledge that these courses are not only compliant, but are also tried and tested on over a hundred thousand delegates. So, you’ll know that they work!
3 – Get you ready to go with ready-made presentations
We’ll give you access to the ‘Hero Maker’s Hub’ on our website. You can then download your free presentations. They are professionally designed and photographed, so you won’t end up with ‘death by Powerpoint’!
We also have a custom branding option available.
4 – Produce all your paperwork for you
Members of the SkillBase First Aid Instructor Network get exclusive access to professionally designed and printed delegate packs.
They have everything you need for a course, including ‘The Good First Aid Guide’ and accompanying workbooks.
The packs set the right impression for your course delegates. Not only do
they look professional, they cut down on countless hours of home printing and collating. Plus, no hassle of buying books separately!
5 – Ditch the data entry
Not many trainers want to spend countless hours completing data entry. We’ve got it covered.
When you complete a course, just bundle up your paperwork and send it back to us.
We’ll do all the QA, checks, and send you back professional certificates. Personalised certificates are also available.
6 – Advertise & help fill your courses
You might be planning to run courses for groups, and also for individuals to come to you.
If you are scheduling courses that people can just book one or two places on, we can list those courses on our website for you for free using our Course Market service.
It’s a great way to help fill seats that might otherwise sit empty, and maximise income.
Plus, we can provide you with free easy to use software that will allow you to take bookings and payment on your own website 24/7 too. Never miss a booking because you can’t answer a call when you are training!
7 – Keep you up to date and connected
As well as loads of information on the ‘Hero Makes Hub’ we’ll do our very best to keep you up-to-date and connected.
Every First Aid Instructor on the Network gets a free annual group coaching session. It’s a real confidence booster and a great chance to share stories.
Plus, you can also attend our ‘Hero Maker’s Hangout’ – our annual big trainer get together. A day packed full of making connections, CPD, picking up tips, and keeping connected.
8 – Provide support when you need it
It can be lonely out there on your own! If you’re a social butterfly, connect with other like-minded SkillBase First Aid Instructors on our social media group.
You’ll also get ongoing support and guidance from our experienced Training Manager & Team, who are always on the end of the phone.
Our regular ‘open hours’ allow you to book a date straight into one of our Training Manager’s diaries for any support and guidance you need.
Sounds great, right?
How can it be free?
The question we are asked all the time when we tell people completing our First Aid Instructor training course. Put simply, we prefer to make long-term relationships rather than a short-term gain – we believe it is better that way.
Rather than a large set-up fee and lots of admin, we think it’s best to get up-and-running straight away, that will mean that you’ll complete more training, and purchase more packs from us.
Once you have registered with the trainer network, you can buy your delegate resource packs on a pay as you go basis, and because there is no minimum order, you only need to purchase as many as you need.
