It’s a long way to Tipperary…. but just a 3 day journey to becoming a First Aid Responder.

Day 1 is complete with C-TAC faculty guiding learners through the first steps towards skills that can truly make a difference.”

We continue our TAQA visits this week, catching up with one of our regular faculty members.
We could have travelled 10 minutes down the road and visited a more convenient course. But Quality Assurance isn’t about taking the easy option. It’s about ensuring our faculty maintain our standards and protect the C-TAC brand and reputation wherever training happens.
This week’s visit started with a one-hour site induction just to gain access to the industrial facility. A great reminder that strong Quality Assurance often happens behind the scenes, requiring time, flexibility, and a real commitment to doing things right.

A Busy Start to the Week at C-TAC
We’re hard at work with our IT partners https://fusionweb.ie, designing and developing our Learning Management System (LMS) to support our application to deliver First Aid Response by Blended Learning.
This project began almost a year ago, following the approval of the new Blended Learning Guidance and Application Form. Our team is carefully aligning our blended course to the NEW 2026 First Aid Response Education and Training Standards, ensuring learners consistently get the highest-quality training, online or in-person.
As part of our practical development:
•We’ve been experimenting with filming content using a drone while practicing the new Ten Second Triage skills.
•We’ve also upskilled on the use of CPR feedback technology, ensuring our learners get the most effective, hands-on practice.

Exciting times ahead as we prepare to offer flexible, PHECC-aligned training that meets the demands of modern learning.

We are proud to invest in high-quality training equipment to ensure our learners receive the very best experience.

This week we took delivery of some of Prestan’s newest products, four PRO+ Adult Series 2000 Manikins.

We have been closely watching the 2000 range in anticipation of the launch of their PRO+ compatible lung system and it was well worth the wait. The integration of the PRO+ system with the 2000 series brings enhanced realism, improved feedback, and an even higher standard of CPR training for our learners.

At C-TAC quality training starts with quality equipment.

21/03/2026

Wrapping up a busy week at C-TAC.

Our trainee instructors have completed their supervised instructing phase with C-TAC faculty by:
Assisting an Instructor on a Course.
Being supervised by an instructor delivering of a course.

This week they completed Final Cardiac First Response Community and Advanced Instructor Assessments with our senior faculty in Kildare.

Well done to everyone involved and we look forward to welcoming you to our faculty.

19/03/2026

We’re back on the road today continuing our TAQA process, carrying out IQA monitoring of our instructors.

The purpose of IQA monitoring is to provide an opportunity to review our faculty both as instructors and as assessors, ensuring consistency, compliance and quality across all programmes.

During monitoring we:

• Ensure that official C-TAC presentations and materials are being used.
• Take a “snapshot in time” by reviewing paperwork as it stands on the day, including attendance sheets, OSCE documentation, examination papers and learner feedback forms.
• Speak directly with learners using structured questions to evaluate the quality and standard of delivery.

This process is not about fault-finding, it is about maintaining standards, supporting our instructors, and continually improving.

Most importantly, it provides confidence to our learners that their programme is regulated, monitored, and delivered to the highest standard.

Quality assurance isn’t optional it’s integral.

18/03/2026

30th & 31st March 2026 First Aid Response Instructor.

We’re really impressed with our new 2000 infant CPR manikins
The real-time feedback options are excellent, giving learners clear guidance on compression depth and rate so they can quickly see when they’re getting it right. It makes practice more engaging and helps build confidence during paediatric CPR training.
We spent the afternoon colour coding them as well, adding custom coloured C-TAC logos using our Cricut Joy Xtra to make equipment sets easier to manage during training and link to our Prestan app.

Huge thanks to & for the last 3 days here in hustle , bringing all the staff up to FAR level in their first aid training. Hopefully we never need to implement what we have learned but if we do we are prepared with all the hands on learning we achieved throughout the course. Could not recommend Patrick and Adrian highly enough. For anyone thinking of getting their first aid up to speed get in touch with these guys. 🔥🔥
