Month: May 2025

Advantage Accreditation’s Curriculum Team ensure our learning materials are up to date with the latest guidance and best practices.

 

Here are some of the key updates we’ve made this past month:

 

DRABC Protocol

We’ve amended the DRABC (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation) protocol across all first aid courses. The “C” now reflects Circulation if the casualty is breathing, or CPR if the casualty is not. Additionally, we’ve clarified that life-threatening bleeding must be dealt with between the Response and Airway steps, an important change that aligns with evolving emergency care priorities.

 

AED and Recovery Position Guidance

We’ve updated guidance on automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to note that they may be used on children under 1 year old if no other options are available. Also, the recovery position must now be taught following the secondary survey. These changes ensure learners are prepared for real-world emergencies with the most current advice.

 

Penetrating Chest Injuries

We’ve also updated our guidance on penetrating chest injuries to reflect the most recent recommendations. Learners will now receive clearer, more effective training on how to manage these critical injuries.

 

New Seizure Classification

In line with the 2025 update from the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), our epilepsy courses now feature the latest seizure classification framework. Trainers and learners will benefit from a more accurate, consistent understanding of seizure types.

 

Why These Updates Matter

These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring that our accredited training reflects the latest research, guidelines, and real-world needs. As an accredited centre, you don’t need to worry about keeping up with every update, as we do the heavy lifting for you.

 

Our regularly reviewed and refreshed learning materials make your job as a trainer or provider easier, so you can focus on delivering excellent instruction and supporting your learners.

Planning an event soon?

 

We have a simple, straightforward way to increase your attendance, boost your reputation, and offer more value to your attendees. Best of all, it’s absolutely free!

 

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is now a requirement in a broad range of professions. By offering CPD points/hours, you’re giving attendees a reason to choose your event over others. Whether it’s a seminar, conference, workshop, or online talk, CPD accreditation adds credibility and merit.

 

More Attendees

CPD-accredited events are more appealing to professionals looking to meet annual CPD quotas. This means more sign-ups.

 

Perceived Value

When people see CPD points attached to an event, it signals quality and substance. That perception can translate into higher engagement and even increased ticket sales.

 

Zero Cost

Our CPD event accreditation is completely free. We’ve streamlined the process so there’s no paperwork nightmare or multitude of back-and-forth emails.

 

Global Reach

Our accreditation applies internationally, perfect for hybrid and online events.

1. Submit your event details
2. Receive a unique QR code to display at your event
