Important information:
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service Training and Community Response Services Identification requirements are applicable to all accredited First Aid courses delivered by the ATCoRS.
The ATCoRS has a responsibility to confirm the identity of each learner as part of the course registration process. This means ensuring that each learner’s identification is checked and that the type of identification provided by each learner is recorded.
The following would be permitted proof of a learner’s Identity:
• A valid passport (any nationality)
• A signed UK photo card driving licence
• Valid warrant card issued by HM Forces or the Police
• Other photographic ID card, e.g. student ID card, travel card

If learners are 15 minutes late, they may still be able to join the course but at the Tutor’s discretion and the Learner will be required to make up any missed learning time on that day. If over 15 minutes late, the Learner will need to rebook for an alternative day.
Your course is due to finish at 17:00, however please bear with us, the course may over run due to extra cleaning and additional learner needs.
This qualification is valid for 3 years from the date the certificate is issued at which time learners would be required to re-attend the training.

Isle of Wight Council Staff (non-schools) Only:
2021 Update: As a responsible employer, we must follow HSE guidance around First Aid certifications and expiry dates. This means that staff must attend the relevant re-qualification training for their certificate prior to reaching their expiry date. If the member of staff does not retrain or requalify before the expiry date on their current certificate, they are no longer considered competent to act as a first-aider in the workplace.
As mentioned above, this qualification is valid for 3 years from the date the certificate is issued at which time learners would be required to re-attend the training.
