First Aid for Cyclists Level 2 (VTQ)

First Aid for Cyclists Level 2 (VTQ) is designed specifically for cyclists, who are at an increased risk of accidents and are also more likely to stop at another incident. When dealing with a cycling accident, there is an additional risk from passing traffic and the possibility of being hit by another vehicle.

This course is aimed at all cyclists, whether you race, ride for fitness, commute, or use your cycle around town. It covers core basic life support skills alongside the specific problems and injuries that cyclists are more likely to encounter.

The course addresses the issues likely to be found by cyclists at all levels, helping learners understand how to respond calmly and effectively in the first critical moments after an incident.

All course content fully meets the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines, in line with HSE requirements.

First aid knowledge for cyclists, clubs, and organisations that support riders at every level.

Most people take first aid training as a requirement for their job or for personal preparedness. For cyclists, it is particularly valuable because riders are more likely to witness incidents and may be first on scene, where fast, confident action can make a real difference.

Whether it’s a professional requirement or personal qualification, this course allows you to train at your own pace, in your own time.

Some groups that may need this training include:

• Professional cyclists and teams
• Cycle clubs
• Cycle associations
• Families
• Schools
• Colleges

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings online courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from First Aid 4 Less, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.
5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.
6. Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material, is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the FirstAid4Less website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use. Technical queries or questions regarding the training or content are handled by ProTrainings – call 01206 807587 or email support@protrainings.uk
7. All learners have ongoing access to training materials after completion of the course for several months, with the option of weekly training emails delivered straight to your inbox to keep your knowledge up to date and demonstrate ongoing learning.
