What you will submit
One document (Google Doc with view access, or an uploaded Word or PDF file) with a headed section for each of the six parts. No private medical details of real people.
What to do, step by step
- Make a first aid plan for your home, your school or your workplace. Do not include anyone's private medical details; describe needs in general terms (for example 'one staff member uses an inhaler'). This project does not certify you: Part 6 asks for your plan to take a practical course.
- Part 1. Emergency contact card: the emergency numbers for your state (confirmed by you, with where you confirmed them), the nearest hospital with an emergency unit and how to get there, and a short script for calling for help that includes your exact location with landmarks.
- Part 2. First aid kit: a kit list for your setting, checked against what you actually have, with what is missing and when you will get it. No medicines beyond plasters and antiseptic.
- Part 3. Five action cards: short step-by-step cards for five emergencies of your choice from the course (at least one of: unresponsive and not breathing, choking, severe bleeding, burns), each with the first thing you do, what to say when you call for help, and what you must not do.
- Part 4. Myth-correction sheet: at least six harmful first aid myths common where you live, each with the correct action and a one-line reason, written so a family member or colleague would understand it.
- Part 5. Incident record: a template for recording an emergency (time, what happened, what you saw, what you did, who took over), filled in for one fictional incident.
- Part 6. Your practical training plan: which recognised provider runs a hands-on first aid course near you, what it covers, and when you plan to take it.
Files to work with
Project workbook (fill in, then submit)The whole brief, an evidence checklist, the grading rubric as a self-check and the link-sharing steps in one file. Opens in Word, Google Docs or WPS.Word · 6 KBHow it is graded
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| The emergency card has confirmed local numbers, a hospital route and a clear calling script with location | 16% |
| The kit list is appropriate for the setting and checked against what exists | 12% |
| The five action cards are correct, ordered, include scene safety and calling for help, and state what not to do | 34% |
| The myth-correction sheet corrects real harmful myths accurately and clearly | 16% |
| The incident record template is complete and the example is realistic | 10% |

You need 70% overall to pass. A human examiner also reviews this safety-critical project before any certificate is issued. A failed submission comes back with feedback and can be revised and resubmitted.
Before you submit: make your link public
If your work lives in Google Drive or Google Docs, open Share → General access and change “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link” (Viewer). Then paste the link into a private browser window: if it opens without sign-in, you are ready. A private link cannot be graded — it is the single most common reason a good project fails.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to finish First Aid & Emergency Response for Home, Work and the Road before submitting the project?
Yes. The submission screen opens once every lesson in First Aid & Emergency Response for Home, Work and the Road is marked complete. The lessons are where the methods, the Nigerian context and the worked examples the project depends on are taught.
How is the project graded?
An examiner scores each rubric criterion from 0 to 100 and weights them as shown on this page; you need 70% overall to pass. Because this is a safety-critical trade, a human examiner also reviews every submission before a certificate is issued.
Can I resubmit if I fail?
Yes. A failed project comes back with feedback; revise the weak parts and resubmit. A passed project is final — the certificate is issued and cannot be re-rolled.
What do I actually submit?
A write-up of what you did (under 5,000 characters) plus a public link to your work — a Google Drive folder, Google Doc, spreadsheet, GitHub repository or video. The link must open without sign-in; a private link cannot be graded. The free project workbook on this page walks you through all 7 steps.
Is the certificate real?
Yes. Passing this project issues a certificate with a unique verification code. Anyone — an employer, a client, a school — can open the verification page and see that the certificate is genuine and which project earned it.
