Overview

Our e-learning Immediate Life Support (e-ILS) course, designed and accredited by the Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK), provides healthcare professionals with vital emergency response skills to effectively manage deteriorating patients and prevent cardiopulmonary arrest.

The e-ILS course utilises a blended learning format, combining half a day of interactive online training with half a day of in-person practical training at one of our certified Course Centres. This approach allows participants to learn the theoretical concepts remotely before attending a hands-on session to practice essential life support techniques in a controlled environment.

Both the e-ILS and the standard Immediate Life Support (ILS) courses lead to the same RCUK certification and qualification, ensuring consistency in learning outcomes. The e-ILS certification is widely recognised across the UK, the EU, and Australia.
