No, you do not have to attend a training course, but you must hold a level 3 (or higher) subject qualification and teaching/assessing qualification.

Minimum requirements for teaching the Mini Medics courses:

First Aid:

• Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (or equivalent/higher)
• Level 3 (or higher) Teaching and Assessing qualification

Mental Health:

• Level 3 Award in Supervising/Leading First Aid for Mental Health (or equivalent/higher)
• Level 3 (or higher) Teaching and Assessing qualification

It is the trainer’s responsibility to ensure their qualifications are valid and kept up to date.

You must purchase the Mini Medics Trainer Pack or the Mini Medics Trainer USB to become a Mini Medics Trainer.

We recommend purchasing the Mini Medics Trainer Pack because it includes 32 x Mini Medics Student Packs that can be issued to your learners as part of your training sessions.

Here is a list of equipment required:

• Laptop/computer
• Microsoft PowerPoint application
• Projector and projector screen (16:9 aspect ratio)
• Flipchart, paper and pens
• Mini Medics books
• Mini Medics worksheets
• Mini Medics certificates
• Mini Medics pens or pencil sets

In addition to the above, you will need the following equipment to teach the Mini Medics First Aid course:

• Resuscitation manikins
• Manikin cleansing wipes
• Face shields and pocket masks
• Spare manikin airways
• AED training unit + training accessories
• First aid kit
• Sterile dressings
• Disposable gloves

Anywhere in the UK! There are no geographical restrictions for you to start teaching the Mini Medics courses. Providing the venue is suitable, sufficient and safe, the courses can be delivered anywhere, anytime of year.

The Mini Medics courses are non-regulated and attendance is all that is required. A certificate of attendance is available in the back of each Mini Medics First Aid book and as a PDF for both courses.

Because the Mini Medics programmes are non-regulated, there are no rules stipulating a maximum number of learners you can teach on a course. From experience, we recommend a maximum of 16 learners per training session so the learners get the most out of each training session.

Yes, they can. You are provided with 3-hour and 1-hour course resources including PowerPoint presentations, trainer’s notes and session plans. We have no problem with you reducing or extending the syllabus, subtracting modules from the course or even creating a new syllabus using the materials provided.

It’s very simple. Head over to the ‘CREATE A LISTING’ page and follow the steps to submit your application. The Mini Medics team will verify your contact information before it goes live for potential customers to view.

Please note that you must have purchased the Mini Medics First Aid Trainer Pack (or Mini Medics First Aid Trainer USB) for your details to successfully appear. You are also required to check and sign the disclaimer fields to ensure you meet the teaching requirements.

Absolutely! You have full use of the logos and print files contained on the Mini Medics Trainer USB for marketing and promotional purposes.

It is up to you! We do not advocate any form of pricing structure for the Mini Medics courses, as it will depend on the type of training, the location, the duration of the course, the resources provided to the learners and your personal expenses.

Schools and clubs who invest in Mini Medics may want to offer their students free training and integrate this into lessons and after school activities which is absolutely acceptable.
