As part of Safety Training Awards’ (STA) ongoing commitment to creating high quality professional qualifications which meet the needs of the industry, employers, and learners, STA is extremely proud to launch two new qualifications:
STA Level 3 Award in Activity Emergency First Aid aims to provide learners with the knowledge and practical competences required to be able to deal with a range of emergency first aid situations in an activity setting.
STA Level 3 Award in Activity First Aid aims to provide learners with the knowledge and practical competences required to be able to deal with a range of emergency first aid situations in an activity setting, as well as a range of specific injuries and illnesses.
There is also an option for blended learning and online refresher training with new STA first aid online programmes.
The new resources include:
- Resource manuals:
- STA Award in Outdoor and Activity Emergency First Aid Resource Manual (eManual only)
- STA Award in Outdoor and Activity First Aid Resource Manual (eManual / hard copy)
- STA Activity Emergency First Aid Online Programme / STA Activity First Aid Online Programme
- Assessment Strategies
- PowerPoint Presentations
- Tutor Assessed Skills Sheets
- MCQ Assessment Papers
- Suggested Timetables
- Qualification Specifications.
The new ‘interactive’ resource manuals contain updated imagery including QR codes which once scanned with a camera phone, direct to relevant video demonstrations. The resource manuals are available now within the STA Swim Shop.
To deliver the new activity first aid qualifications, tutors must complete the STA First Aid Tutor Upskill 2025 online programme. The upskill holds a CPD value of ½ point and includes information on the course content, resources, and assessment requirements. It is recommended IQAs who wish to IQA the qualification complete the upskill. It would also benefit ATC co-ordinators.
The new resources and assessment materials must be used when delivering the new STA activity first aid qualifications.
