The Qualsafe Awards Level 2 Award in citizenAID is a regulated qualification designed to teach members of the public life-saving skills for use in the event of a deliberate multiple casualty incident.

Based on the citizenAID, this half day qualification will teach Learners how to react safely, pass on effective messages to the emergency services, prioritise the injured and give life-saving first aid in these extreme situations.

Duration

The citizenAID course requires 3 hours of teaching time (plus breaks).

Assessment

Assessment is in the form of practical exercises which you must pass to qualify.

Please note that candidates must be able to perform exercises at floor level where required. It is a requirement of all regulated courses that the candidate should be able to communicate effectively with Emergency Services and, although this is not assessed formally, your instructor must be satisfied that this is the case.

Once qualified, the certificate is valid for 3 years, at the end of which candidates will need to attend a new course to re-qualify.
