Your qualifications

How your qualification level affects alerting
The qualification level you declare may affect the radius and number of areas you are alerted in, depending on your region. Higher qualifications, such as registered medical professionals, may receive alerts over a wider area. Certified first aiders may be alerted over a wider radius than those who self-certify. Your ambulance service or organisation decides the exact alerting rules for your area.

Please select the option that best describes your qualifications. Your qualification level may determine the alerting radius in your area.

Registered medical professional

For example a doctor, nurse or paramedic with a professional registration body

Certified first aider

I have completed an assessed and certificated first aid, BLS or higher qualification course and hold an in-date certificate that I can upload as evidence.

Self-certify (competent in CPR)

I am competent in CPR but do not hold a formal certificate - for example from non-certificated CPR awareness sessions, workplace training with no proof of qualification, RCUK Lifesaver online training, or other non-certificated, non-assessed BLS training.

Self-certification declaration

• RCUK Lifesaver: online training, or similar e-learning courses

• Other non-certificated, non-assessed BLS training

I understand that by self-certifying, I am declaring that I have the knowledge and ability to respond to a cardiac arrest and will act within my capabilities.
