If you teach first aid, your annual monitoring needs to be complete by 31 December 2026. There is still plenty of time, but monitoring depends on another person observing you teach, so it is worth booking sooner rather than later.
Who does this apply to? Annual monitoring applies only to first aid instructors. If you are attending a course as a learner, or you do not teach first aid, there is nothing you need to do.
Three steps to get up to date
- Check your status. Log in to NucoPlus and review your monitoring status so you know exactly what is outstanding.
- Arrange your monitoring. A suitably qualified monitor needs to observe at least three hours of your course delivery and practical assessment.
- Submit your report. Complete the Monitoring Report Form before the deadline.
Who can act as a monitor?
Your monitor should hold a current First Aid at Work certificate or relevant medical registration, together with an acceptable internal quality assurance (IQA) qualification, or suitable IQA continuing professional development training.
If you would like to be able to monitor colleagues, there is an online Assessor & IQA CPD course that takes around two hours to complete.
