Course Summary
Would you know how to react in the event
of a terrorist attack?
Whenever there is a shooting, stabbing or bomb
explosion, the initial priority is understandably to
ensure public safety, which can unfortunately cause
delays to the emergency services being able to reach
the injured.
The QA Level 2 Award in citizenAID (RQF) has
been specifically developed to help members of the
public learn life-saving skills for use in these extreme
situations. Based on the citizenAID phone App and
pocket guide, this regulated qualification is designed
to teach people how to react safely, prioritise the
injured and give first aid to victims in the event of a
deliberate multiple casualty incident.
During this 3 hour course, candidates will have the
opportunity to practise techniques for dealing with
catastrophic bleeding and will be equipped with
the skills and knowledge needed to save lives in the
aftermath of a terrorist attack.
