About this course

What the Concussion Awareness course covers

This is an online clinical care course you work through in your own time, on a phone, tablet or laptop. There are 9 modules to work through, and most people give it 1 to 2 hours in total. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

Expect to cover Defining concussion, Signs of concussion, How to assess a concussion and First aid measures. There are 5 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

You do not need a background in clinical care - the first modules build it for you. We list 134 Clinical Care courses, of which 30 sit at Beginner. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

The honest caveats: It is an introduction, so it is the wrong buy if you want depth on one narrow part of the subject.
