Skills for Life: Basic First Aid
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Basic first aid is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit, offered from Entry 1 to Level 2, in which learners learn what first aid is, carry out first aid actions safely and hygienically, recognise and respond to emergencies, and get help by giving accurate information, often through roleplay. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Life and Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Digital demand is low: no criterion requires digital work and Appendix A does not map digital competence. Digital skills sit in first aid apps, reviewing videos, recorded evidence and optional leaflets.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): Four learning outcomes (know about everyday first aid, carry out basic first aid actions safely, recognise and respond to an emergency, know how to get help in an emergency), with evidence compiled into a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC, 20 guided learning hours, unit codes S602E1, S602E2 and S602E3
- Level 1 and Level 2: Four learning outcomes (understand the purpose of first aid in everyday situations, carry out first aid skills safely, assess and respond appropriately to different emergencies, get help and communicate accurate information in an emergency), with evidence compiled into a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC, 20 guided learning hours, unit codes S602L1 and S602L2

Using first aid apps and digital services to get help
Learners must suggest other sources of support in an emergency, from describing other ways at Entry 3 to suggesting how and when to access additional support at Level 2. The amplification lists first aid apps at Entry Level and NHS 111, helplines and digital first aid resources at Levels 1 and 2. The criteria are assessed, but learners can meet them without the digital options, so the digital part is taught rather than required.

Rwy'n gallu dangos dealltwriaeth o fanteision ac anfanteision gwahanol ffurfiau ar gyfathrebu ar-lein a phryd y mae'n briodol eu defnyddio, e.e. esbonio pryd y gallai cynadledda fideo fod yn fwy priodol nag e-bost, ac fel arall; esbonio manteision ac anfanteision defnyddio negeseuon sydyn mewn cyd-destunau cymdeithasol; siarad am ddiben a chynulleidfa.
Rwy'n gallu adnabod dylanwadau cadarnhaol a negyddol ehangach technoleg, e.e. ar fy mywyd, ar gymdeithas, ar yr amgylchedd.
Cam cynnydd 4
Rwy'n gallu gwerthuso dibynadwyedd ffynonellau gwybodaeth gan gyfiawnhau fy marn a’m rhesymau dros ddewisiadau, a chyfeirnodi gwaith gan ddefnyddio dulliau priodol.
Rwy'n gallu myfyrio ar rôl y cyfryngau digidol yn fy mywyd a’m harferion.
Da gwybod
- The unit codes are "S602E1", "S602E2", "S602E3", "S602L1" and "S602L2", and the unit is 20 GLH in the Skills for Life suite (Unit overview, page 3).
- Centres "may need access to basic first aid equipment such as bandages and plasters" for practical work, and assessment "should not require any additional resources to those required for delivery" (Resources, pages 14 and 15).
- Evidence can be recorded rather than written: sources include "photographs or video clips of learners carrying out actions" and "audio/video recordings of mock calls" (Sources of evidence, pages 13 and 14), and the portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Specification section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools can be used "When properly referenced", but "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" is AI misuse (Specification section 4.6, page 21), and learners "must sign a declaration confirming the authenticity of submitted work" (section 4.2, page 19).
- Suggested assessment tasks are provided in each pack but "These tasks are not mandatory" (Specification section 4.1, page 18).
- This unit teaches everyday first aid; it is not a first aid certificate, although St John Ambulance "Also offers accredited First Aid certification courses" (Resources available to support delivery, page 15).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack links first aid to careers in health and social care, education, public services, childcare and sport and leisure, so it sits well beside GCSE Health and Social Care and Childcare, the VCSEs in Public Services and Sport and Leisure, and the Foundations in those subjects. Within the Skills Suite, the pack suggests delivering it alongside Community participation, Looking after others, Mental health and wellbeing, Personal safety and Understanding self and others. Its digital work is light compared with GCSE Digital Technology.
