Enrol NOW to keep up your training!

During our return to Scouting whilst at Amber and Yellow readiness, a first response theory course is now available for all members whose training has expired and for those who need to renew their first response training.

If your first response expired on or after 1  April 2020, then you can complete the e-learning to be sufficiently trained for face-to-face Scouting.

If your first response expired on or before 31 March 2020, then you will need to complete the e-learning and attend a 2-hour Zoom session to be sufficiently trained to deliver face-to-face Scouting.

Once our Scouting readiness returns to Green, a practical validation will be required to fully validate first response and module 10.

To access the e-learning, just click here and enrol to start your training.

Following completion of the e-learning, please complete this short form and you will receive a certificate within 7 days or be invited to a Zoom session if you need to complete the full course.  Please include your membership number, full name and the email you registered with on the e-learning portal.

If you have any questions, then please contact Joe Fillingham, DCC People Training, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We are proud of our work with Leeds Beckett University, Carnegie School of Education, and the Minds Ahead charity, to produce this free resource for all of our leaders to help them prepare as we plan a return to face-to-face Scouting.
