Who Can Enrol?

Unlike our other training courses, the ILSi course does not accept open applications. Instead, our future ILS Instructors are selected directly from candidates participating in one of our Immediate Life Support (ILS) courses. Throughout the course, our Course Directors and Faculty assess participants and identify those with strong teaching potential, recommending them for Instructor Potential (IP) status.

Successful candidates will receive a formal invitation to join an ILSi course, where they will learn essential instructor skills, such as:

Understanding the core principles of teaching and learning.
Adapting to the needs of different learning styles.
Mastering the four domains of learning.
Delivering effective and engaging teaching sessions in ILS and PILS courses.

The ILSi course must be completed within one year of the initial ILS provider course.

Course Structure

This one-day Instructor Course combines a blend of interactive lectures, practical skill stations, and immersive simulation sessions to provide a complete learning experience. Held at our RCUK- accredited training centre, each course is led by experienced instructors who have completed a rigorous RCUK instructor programme. This ensures that the content is consistent and of the highest quality across all our courses.

To support newly certified instructors, we offer mentorship and assessment on their first two teaching sessions to help consolidate the skills acquired during the course.

The ILS Instructor course is fully accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) by the Medical, Dental, and Nursing Royal Colleges and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), making it a valuable addition to any healthcare professional’s portfolio.

Yes. Candidates will be awarded 15 CPD points for successful completion of the ILS course.

What is the maximum group size?

All our ILS courses are capped at a maximum of 6 participants. This is aimed at maximising personalised attention and ensuring each participant gains ample hands-on experience throughout the course.

What is your cancellation policy?

To be eligible for a refund on any course fees paid, a minimum notice of 21 days prior to the course start date is required, subject to a £15 administration fee. Cancellations made within 21 days of the course date are not eligible for a refund, due to the difficulty of filling course vacancies at short notice. However, we provide the option to transfer your enrolment to another candidate. Should you wish to do so, please contact us on [email protected] quoting your booking number, course date and new candidate name and we will be happy to transfer the booking free of charge.

What happens if I fail the course assessment?

Should you fail to successfully complete your course assessment, your assessor will offer comprehensive feedback explaining why the assessment criteria were not met. You will then receive a tailored support plan outlining actionable steps for improvement, in preparation for reassessment.

Will lunch be provided?

Lunch is not provided; however, our facilities include a kitchenette equipped with a fridge, kettle, microwave, and sink for your convenience. Additionally, nearby amenities like McDonald’s, Costa, Caffè Nero, and local restaurants are within walking distance for more options.
