Test your emergency first aid knowledge with 20 questions on CPR, defibrillators, choking, bleeding, seizures and the recovery position, following the Resuscitation Council UK 2025 guidelines.
Our practice format. On the course, your trainer assesses you as you carry out the practical skills.
Each attempt picks a new set of questions from a bank of 60, so you can practise as often as you like.
Anyone can use an AED. It talks you through each step and only allows a shock if one is needed.
RCUK 2025 guidelines say continue CPR until professional help takes over or tells you to stop, the casualty becomes responsive (speaks, opens their eyes, moves purposefully or breathes normally), or you are too exhausted to go on.
RCUK 2025 guidelines say apply a tourniquet as soon as possible for life-threatening bleeding from an arm or leg that direct pressure does not control. It only works on a limb, not on the chest, neck or head.
Rinse the graze under clean running water or with sterile wipes, pat it dry and cover it with a sterile dressing or plaster. Wear gloves while you do this.
NHS advice is to call 999 if it is their first seizure, it lasts longer than is usual for them (or over 5 minutes if you do not know), they do not fully come round or have repeated seizures, or they are seriously injured or have difficulty breathing afterwards.
Someone who can shout has an open airway and is breathing. A silent, still casualty may be unresponsive and in greater danger, so check them first.
After a seizure, people are often drowsy and confused. Place them on their side to protect the airway, keep checking their breathing and stay until they have recovered.
Allow the chest to recoil fully after each compression so the heart can refill with blood. Keep your hands in place on the chest.
The question bank has 60 questions across these topics. Every attempt mixes them at random.
These questions follow the Emergency First Aid syllabus and the Resuscitation Council UK 2025 guidelines. They cover:
A quiz can check what you know, but CPR, the recovery position and controlling bleeding have to be practised with a trainer. If you haven't got a valid certificate, book a one-day Emergency First Aid course and you will practise every skill on the day.
Your trainer watches you carry out skills such as CPR and the recovery position, and you answer a short multiple choice paper. Both parts need to be passed.
Three years. The HSE strongly recommends a short refresher every year so your skills stay fresh.
Yes, for a door supervisor or security guard licence. You need an Emergency First Aid certificate that covers life-threatening bleeding and is valid for at least 12 months from the start of your SIA course. The door supervisor and security guard courses we list include it, taught in the first half of day one.
Yes. The Resuscitation Council UK published new guidelines in October 2025. One change is that you now call 999 for anyone who is unresponsive, and slow or gasping breathing is treated as a sign that they need CPR. These questions follow the 2025 guidelines.
