Delivery Methods

The majority of First Response Training Health and Safety courses are available as traditional classroom courses, led by a trainer in-person. These courses can often be modified to suit remote, online webinars taking place via video conferencing software such as Zoom, GoTo Training, or Microsoft Teams. eLearning is available on some topics. Through eLearning, the learner can access the courses from anywhere with an internet connection, and complete the training in their own time without the need for a trainer. This is much more flexible than traditional delivery methods.
