First Response, Module 10, is an essential requirement.
Module 10 consists of a 6 hour programme and is currently delivered by Wharfedale District by one of the following routes:
Route A: Blended (or “Hybrid”) model:
Consists of:
- a 3 hr e-Learning (NB. After 9 Mar 2026 this is no longer hosted by Hampshire Scouts but has moved to “My Learning” on the Membership Portal. Further details are given in the booking form below.) followed by
- a 3 hr face to face validation session which includes a practical validation. This is booked using the form below.
Route A is better suited to those who have more experience in scouting and first aid. This format allows the person to show an understanding and explore deeper details through discussion. (Where we have people with little scouting or first aid experience, they often need to change clothing for the practical sessions which then causes the course to run over for everyone.)
Unfortunately Route A is not available to young leaders after 9 March 2026 .They should use Route B. (This is because the e-Learning course is now only available to Adult Volunteers using the “Membership Portal”).
OR
Route B: Face to face 6 hour training course:
There is no preparatory work required. This type of course is better suited to newer leaders who have limited scouting or first aid experience or prefer face to face learning. Demand for this course has been low so it is run less often, but if you would like to do one you can add yourself to the waiting list using the booking form below. You can also book a 6 hour course with Central Yorkshire. For more details please click here
Booking Form for First Response Courses in Wharfedale District
Please note that for any course to run there need to be at least 4 participants booked on (for a scenario exercise) so, if 3 days before a course there are fewer than 4 bookings, unfortunately, it will not run. Anyone who is booked on that course will be informed so they can make another choice.
There are 12 places on each session. Start times are shown on the booking form below. To see the current dates and availability please click here.
To attend a 3 hour course (Route A) please book on the form below. You will also need to do the e-Learning module at least 7 days beforehand (to allow time for admin and checking.) When you have completed the e-Learning please copy the completion certificate (or a screenshot) to learninglead@wharfedalescouts.org.uk. Click here to access the e-Learning module now.
You can book a 6 hour (Route B) course (if one is available) using the same form. There is no need to do the online course as the material is covered during the session.
