What is a face-to-face session?
The face-to-face session involves one of the British Red Cross educators travelling to meet a group at their chosen location and delivering the workshop in person. During the session the group will take part in activities and there will be a chance to discuss the topic together.

Availability of face-to-face
Before applying please be aware availability of face-to-face sessions are limited. You may want to consider:
- How would your group benefit from a face-to-face session? We work with groups in a suitable venue of their choice and look to support those most in need of our help.
- Am I part of a group or an individual? Face-to-face is only available for adults (ages 19+) or youth groups ( ages 10- to 18). Online and telephone workshops are available for individuals.
- Is there an educator active in my area? While we are working hard to ensure as many people in need can access our workshops, we can only provide face-to-face delivery where an educator is currently based.
- Do I want to book a first aid workshop for my workplace? Our First Aid workshops do not meet workplace requirements. For accredited first aid courses, please visit British Red Cross training.
