You Will Learn:
- How to undertake a primary assessment of a casualty’s condition, how to employ the DR C ABCDE protocol to gain an overview of the situation and how to place someone in the recovery position.

- How to minimise blood loss if someone is bleeding, how to assess and bandage a wound, what to do if there is a foreign object embedded in a wound and how to identify and treat shock.
- The difference between mild and severe cases of choking, how to identify instances of each and how to dislodge obstructions in both adults and children using appropriate combinations of back blows and abdominal thrusts.
- How to cool a burn, how to minimise further skin damage, how to decide whether a burn warrants professional medical attention and what to bear in mind when assisting a casualty with chemical or electrical burns.
- How to manage an incident, keep yourself and others safe when administering first aid and pass on relevant information to emergency services personnel.
- How to identify the signs of a spinal injury, how to decide whether a head injury warrants professional medical attention and how to treat eye injury and irritation.

I really enjoyed taking time to complete this Floristry diploma course online. I have been flower arranging for a few years now and wanted to improve my knowledge and skills. The course was very detailed and the assignments were good, some very creative, I found the history very interesting and how the different periods used flowers for decoration. I am really interested in wedding flower design modules fourteen and fifteen were of particular interest to me. I also found the starting your own business section very helpful. I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in Floristry to take the course.

I really enjoyed this course because I was able to study at anytime and anywhere from my phone, when my little daughter was sleeping. I like working with people and this course offered me more knowledge about the best way to treat a customer.
This diploma will help me get a better job in the future. After each module there is a short test and at the end of the course there is another overall longer test so it’s best to read and understand each module properly.
I definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants to improve their customer service skills.
Lavinia Poara
I found the course straight forward and easy to follow.
It’s given me a great understanding of first aid procedures and has outlined some important aspects of looking after pets in general. It paid particular attention to the description of the CPR procedure. I will come in very useful.
The multi choice test at the end is easy to complete and I found the worksheets at the end of each module very helpful to outline the important aspects.
I look forward to completing many more courses on offer to help progress my new dog walking and pet care business.
Thank you.

I am a doctor. This course is well organized, covering all areas of CBT. The videos and practical tips are very helpful. All the modules are arranged with good explanations and examples. Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.
Dr. M. Arshad
It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.
Ellie Clarke
I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price! I am looking forward to taking on my next one.
Teleisha Harley
Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
Rob Coops
Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.
Nichola Anderson
I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
Keith Smith
Lovely course for people who want to know the basics and of sign language. It's has helped me to get more of an understanding and will greatly benefit me in my workplace. So easy to pick up and the videos were easy to understand. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Chloe Hambly
Very interesting and helpful course. I ve learned a lot of interesting things about make up and the tutorials were very helpful and easy to understand. I really reccomend this course for everyone who is passionate about make up and wish to develop their skills and make a career from their hobby.
