RISE is an exciting project designed and led by young people, for young people. Created by St John Ambulance, the nation’s leading first aid charity, the project is now available in communities across the country. If you’re aged between 16 and 25 years old, and are not in employment, education or training, RISE could help you learn new kills, and improve your prospects(前景).
What you'll learn
St John Ambulance believes that everyone should have access to first aid, and we are devoted to equipping as many people as possible with the skills to be the difference between life and death. As a participant you’ll learn first aid through our Stick-it sessions, and also get the opportunity to develop new skills, giving you the confidence to train others in your community, or the qualifications(资格)in youth leadership you need to get your career up and running.
Choosing the right path for you
At the heart of the RISE project is a commitment(承诺) to peer to peer(同龄人之间的) learning. As well as being taught first aid, you'll be given the skills and guidance to pass your knowledge onto other people in your community. RISE offers you the chance to gain a range of qualifications and to choose a path that helps you make the most of your talents.
Stick-it: Our one-day introduction to first aid focuses on gun and knife related injuries. You'll find out how to manage an incident and learn some of the most commonly needed first aid skills.
First aid:You’ll focus on CPR(心肺复苏术), bleeding and dealing with an emergency situation on this six-hour course.
Keeping children safe: A course designed for those who come into contact with children through their work or leisure activities. This short programme works by helping individuals to understand the unusual role they play in keeping children safe from harm.
Basic skills in youth work: This course provides an introduction to St John Ambulance and is the minimum qualification for a youth leadership role within the organisation.
